José Mourinho has had a few
Champions League saviours over the years but on this occasion, his first home game as the
Tottenham manager, he could be indebted to a ballboy.
Tottenham were two goals down to an energetic Olympiakos team, with their defence looking far from secure, only for Dele Alli to change the complexion of the tie with a close-range finish in first-half stoppage time. The goal was a gift, courtesy of a terrible error from Yassine Meriah.
