Jose Mourinho heaps praise on Tottenham's 'kids' for their cameo roles in comfortable Europa League win over Ludogorets with Dane Scarlett becoming club's youngest ever player at 16 years and 247 days

Jose Mourinho has heaped praise on Tottenham's 'kids' after he handed three academy players their debuts in the 4-0 win over Ludogorets on Thursday.

It was a memorable night for the Spurs youngsters, with Alfie Whiteman, Harvey White and Dane Scarlett introduced for their debuts late on at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Scarlett, aged 16 and 247 days, became the youngest player to feature for the club when he replaced Moura in the 82nd minute, beating John Bostock's previous record set in 2008.
