Jose Mourinho’s Spurs overcame a two-goal deficit last night to confirm their qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League with a 4-2 win over Olympiakos.
Dele Alli, Harry Kane, and Serge Aurier were on hand secure the result for Spurs, but it was the link-up play between Serge Aurier and the ball boy which caught the eye of many supporters last night.
The ball boy acted quickly to throw the ball to full-back Aurier, who took a quick throw to Lucas Moura who burst down the right to set up Kane’s first goal and Spurs’ equaliser.
Mourinho was delighted with the youngster and responded by congratulating the ball boy with a firm handshake.

This fan also took the opportunity to troll other Premier League players who are yet to get an assist this season.
