Jose Mourinho celebrates goal with Tottenham ball boy - after he joined pre-match meal

Jose Mourinho was celebrating with the Tottenham ball boy again as his side went ahead against Bournemouth .

Mourinho was full of praise for ball boy Callum Hynes for his role in the equaliser against Olympiakos in the Champions League in midweek.

The 15-year-old's quick-thinking helped Spurs on their way to scoring and Mourinho went over to celebrate the goal with him.

"I love intelligent ballboys. I was a brilliant ballboy as a kid and this kid was brilliant. He understands the game and he got an assist," Mourinho said.

The Tottenham boss invited Callum to join his side for their pre-match meal and he arrived with the players for the clash with Bournemouth.

He was back on ballboy duty and Spurs went ahead early on thanks to Dele Alli's goal.

And Mourinho was straight over to celebrate with the teenager, who is quickly becoming an internet sensation.

Callum is now in his sixth season as a ballboy and admitted he had to revise for a maths exam this week following the Champions League heroics.

"You can see from my smile it was just unbelievable," he said.

"Jose didn’t have to do that. It was really nice of him to come over to me.

“It’s made my day, my life, really! I love Spurs and it was an amazing moment I’ll never forget.”
