Jose Mourinho and ball boy celebrate the goal
Jose Mourinho's Champions League return didn't get the best start and Spurs were two down at one point against Olympiacos. But the 'Special One' soon rectified his tactical error by bringing in Cristian Eriksen for Eric Dier in the first half itself. From thereon, Tottenham dominated proceedings. Dele Alli opened the scoring before Harry Kane netted a brace and Serge Aurier got on the scoresheet.
Among all the plaudits the manager and his players received, a ball boy also had a part to play in Spurs' victory. His quick thinking led to Tottenham scoring the equaliser against the Greek side in the 50th minute. When the ball was out of play, the ball boy reacted fast to allow for a quick throw-in which set Lucas Moura free down the right flank before he found Harry Kane and it was 2-2 in a flash.
