The quick-thinking ball-boy helped Tottenham draw level against Olympiacos
Jose Mourinho was captured thanking a ball-boy for his quick reactions during Harry Kane's first goal in Tottenham's 4-2 win over Olympiacos.
Kane slotted home after a nice build-up from the Spurs players that all began from a ball boy's quick thinking after the ball went out of play.
The ball-boy quickly got the ball to Serge Aurier putting off the Olympiacos defence, as Lucas Moura took over and executed perfect cut-back to Kane for the goal.
Jose Mourinho makes sure the ball boy gets the respect he deserves for the assist 👏👏👏

The Portuguese manager was caught embracing the ball-boy after the goal, in what was an integral moment in Tottenham's come back in the game.
Mourinho commented on the moment after the game saying: "To do that you have to be a very good ball boy. I was, between 10 and 16 years old a very good ball boy and he was a very good ball boy."
"He was reading the game and wasn't looking at the stands. I wanted to invite him to the dressing room to celebrate with the players but he had disappeared."
Tottenham's win was the first time a Mourinho-led side has come back from two goals down to win a Champions League game.
Mourinho has made an excellent start to his time at Spurs and will surely be looking to build on his impressive start by signing the ball-boy in question to a long-term deal.
