Spurs tallied all three points but it was Bowden who got most of the praise, as it should be considering his heroics against the Reds.

Many of the fans were quick to point out this was definitely due to Jose Mourinho being in the stands and watching the youngsters play. This prompted the youngster to turn into the "new Ronaldo", as one fan put it.

But the main takeaway from this game should definitely be his eventual promotion to the senior team. The 18-year-old midfielder still hasn't had the taste of Spurs' first-team but this performance could possibly boost his long-term chances.

The fans, however, seem to have already made up their minds and they want to see the young talent promoted as soon as possible - with one fan going as far to label him the next Michael Carrick.

By all accounts, it seems like Mourinho has a very good crop of young players in the academy and the fans will no doubt be eager to see how he plans to use them in the near future.
