New Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has praised the work of 'intelligent ball boy' that proved key in his side's 4-2 win over Olympiacos in the Champions League on Tuesday.
As Mourinho's side charged forward, Serge Aurier was able to take a quick throw-in courtesy of a ball boy, with Lucas Moura receiving the ball, racing into the box and setting up Harry Kane for a routine finish.
Tottenham wouldn't look back after the equaliser, scoring twice more to secure their spot in the Champions League knockout stages, with Mourinho heaping praise upon the ball boy that helped decide the game.
"I love intelligent ball boys like I was, and this kid today was brilliant," Mourinho told BT Sport post-match. "He read the game, understands the game and made an important assist, an important moment for him and he will never forget it.
"The goal before half-time is important. I did not see it, I saw it later on the screen.
"When you are losing 2-0, if you are in control of the other result and you know a draw is enough to qualify then we can go for the draw in the second half and be pragmatic."
