For Majabi, Tijaron Cherry and Nikita Rukawitsya fought back, but the caravan deceived Mourinho’s men.
From the pitch, Paris Saint-Germain made a last-ditch effort to sign Dele Alli for the loan before the transfer deadline on Monday.
Negotiations so far have failed to reach an agreement acceptable to both sides, but the French club returned for a last-ditch effort.

PSG wants to sign Ally for a one – season loan, and a player of his status will pay a loan fee to his parent club.
The value of one of Spurs’ top players over the past five years has yet to be seen by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who has not matched any club that wants to take Alli on loan or a permanent deal, which is a major hurdle in dealing with PSG. It remains to be seen whether Levy will change his mind this time.
Allie was first suggested as part of a deal to bring Gareth Bale back on loan from Real Madrid – which ended without the Englishman leaving.
