Jose Mourinho heaps praise on 'magnificent' Tanguy Ndombele for turning around his Tottenham career and insists 'with me the door is always open'

Jose Mourinho praised Tanguy Ndombele's desire to turn his Tottenham career around after the Frenchman's 'genius' goal sealed a 3-1 win at Sheffield United.

Spurs' record signing seemed set for the exit door when Mourinho arrived at the club after struggling to adapt to the Premier League, with the Portuguese regularly criticising the midfielder's hunger and fitness.

But this season has seen the 24-year-old come to the fore as a key player in Mourinho's side and his strike at Bramall Lane will be long remembered as he produced an audacious flick over the goalkeeper's head when running away from goal.
