Jose Mourinho wanted hard men in his team and he certainly got one in Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Mourinho may have used more colourful language when he demanded much more from the Spurs squad and in the Dane he has a man among men.
Hojbjerg was caught by Brentford’s Josh Da Silva and in all fairness, it was not deliberate but unfortunately for the Englishman, it was still a red card.
It left a nasty gash on Hojbjergs shin and it was obvious he had to come off but the 25-year-old still attempted to return to the field of play and it took the intervention of Mourinho to stop him in his tracks.
