The goal proved a turning point as Tottenham cancelled out the visitors’ two-goal advantage and went on to seal qualification to the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Mourinho, who high-fived the youngster in the immediate aftermath, then went on to praise Hynes in his post-match press conference.

And ahead of the clash with Bournemouth – live on talkSPORT 2 at 3pm on Saturday – the Tottenham manager has offered the kid a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“He comes for lunch, for a pre-match meal with the boys,” said the Spurs boss in his Friday press conference.

“Happy days for the kid and hopefully we gave him amazing memories for the rest of his life, so beautiful for him.”

Hynes, who spent the rest of the night revising for a maths exam, has described the moment as totally unforgettable.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break.
