Jose Mourinho jokingly gave Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg the nickname 'Zidane' after he performed a risky double-pirouette on the edge of his own box in Tottenham's 3-0 win over LASK in the Europa League.
The Spurs boss revealed he was laughing about the passage of play with his staff at the interval, which saw the no-nonsense midfielder delicately beat two opposition players with the skill largely associated with Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane.
Mourinho said he admired the Dane's spirit after he shrugged off a nasty-looking eye injury that required stitches, before going on to play through the pain barrier on Thursday night.
