'I thought I had grown!': Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho reveals he got UEFA to change the goals just before Europa League win at Shkendija after keepers Lloris realised they were 5cm too SMALL

Jose Mourinho was caught short on Thursday as he found the goalposts were five centimetres too low before his Tottenham side's 3-1 Europa League win over KF Shkendija of North Macedonia.

The goalkeepers noticed the flaw in the warm-up and alerted Mourinho, who said: 'I am not a goalkeeper but when I spread my arms, I can tell the difference.

'The goalkeepers live in the goals and they know. We got the UEFA delegate to confirm, and it was five centimetres smaller and we demanded for the goals to be replaced with goals of the right dimension.
