Jose Mourinho celebrated with a quick-thinking ballboy after his smart work helped Tottenham equalise in their Champions League clash with Olympiacos.

The Ivorian full-back took the opportunity to feed Lucas Moura up the right wing, and the Brazilian’s cutback was coolly steered home by Harry Kane in the middle.

And to celebrate, Mourinho jogged down the touchline to high-five and hug the youngster.

Spurs had gone behind to an early goal from Youssef El Arabi, and then found themselves two down when Ruben Seemedo doubled the lead.
