José Mourinho revealed that Tottenham had to ask Shkendija to change goals before the match because he was 5 cm smaller than usual.

Spurs earned a spot against Maccabi Haifa next week after beating Shkendija in the Europa League third qualifying round yesterday. Lamela opened the scoring in minute 5, but the home team came up hard and drew after the break. However, the Spurs regained the lead thanks to Son Heung-min in the 70th minute before Harry Kane made it 3-1 shortly after.

Mourinho’s army is now just 1 match away from the Europa League group stage. But this victory was only achieved after the Spurs asked Shkendija to exchange the goal for the correct size. Mourinho said the issue caught his attention after first-team goalkeepers noticed something unusual before kickoff.

Mourinho: “Shkendija’s goal is 5 cm smaller than usual”

“Before the game there was a pretty funny situation because my goalkeeper told me that the goal was quite small. I went to see it and found it really small. Goalkeepers spend all their time practicing in goal, so they feel very good.

I also immediately saw something wrong and we asked someone from UEFA to come see it and it was 5cm smaller than normal goal. After that, we ask for the correct dimensions.

Sharing more about the Spurs’ performance, Mou said: “We weren’t playing very well, but the job is done. In the first half we went 41 minutes without scoring and then we gave them space to play. After the changes, I want the players to enter the field and have an impact. And the sub-players have made a difference.

We started strong and we thought that the goal was enough to finish the game, but it was not like that. They gave us a difficult game. And the fear we felt after the draw caused the team to react. At that time, it was difficult for them to defend themselves against our attacks.
