Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho had positive things to say about midfielder Giovani Lo Celso following the team’s 2-1 win vs. Norwich.

Lo Celso moved to London from Real Betis during the summer and now playing under Jose Mourinho, the Rosario native looks to have finally found a spot in the team. When asked about Lo Celso’s performance vs. Norwhich, here’s what Mourinho had to say:

“Giovani is improving game-after-game. Today he was fantastic in everything. I think he is adapting very well to the league, he can play in various positions, he gives us lots of quality, vision, passing, he is improving his offensive game, he is improving his intensity.

“The only thing that worries me is the new life of English football of playing and playing and playing and in this case he is now playing all the time now because we don’t have different solutions. Even today when Lamela was out, no wingers so Giovani to the wing. It’s hard but I think it’s good experience for all of us, a good experience for the family.”

Lucas Ocampos scored for Sevilla in their 3-1 win vs. Levante in the Copa del Rey.

Ocampos would prove to be the hero for Sevilla as he would score the match winner. After having initially taken a 1-0 lead, Sevilla would let one in as Levante would draw level. The ball would fall to Lucas Ocampos and with a strike from outside of the penalty area, he would score the second goal of the match which would be the winner.

After the goal, Ocampos and Diego Carlos would hold up a t-shirt in tribute to Emiliano Sala who tragically died last year. The message on the shirt wrote “Emi, always with us”.
