(Royal Antwerp-Tottenham 1-0) José Mourinho first was left with just two men from the last game, then quickly replaced five new players in the second half, but Tottenham still suffered a humiliating defeat in Belgium.
– I would have preferred to change 11 men, but I did not use the five changes because I knew there were 45 minutes left, says a frustrated José Mourinho after the game.
Royal Antwerp took a sensational 1-0 win over Tottenham in the Europa League.
Ben Davies, who played as a midfielder, spoiled it, Dieumerci Mbokani thanked the gift and played Lior Refaelov, who thundered 1-0 to the hosts. That should be the only goal of the game.
– We improved after the break, but it wasn’t enough. The best team won and the worst lost, Mourinho acknowledged.

Simen Juklerød had a great opportunity to increase to 2-0 and perhaps puncture the game after 71 minutes, but the Norwegian swept the ball high, with only Hugo Lloris. Soon after, Birger Verstraete also had a great opportunity to grow.
