Jose Mourinho revealed how Tottenham were forced to move the goalposts ahead of their Europa League qualifying win over Shkendija.

Spurs needed goals from Son Heung-min and Harry Kane in the final 20 minutes to beat their North Macedonian hosts 3-1 and go through to next week's play-off against Maccabi Haifa.

But Mourinho says his goalkeepers noticed the framework at the Tose Proeski Arena in Skopje were too small in height before the match and demanded they were changed.

But trusted duo Son and Kane, who was brought off the bench, came to the rescue with goals in the final 20 minutes to get the job done.

"It is nice to win," Mourinho added. "Three in a row even better. Three in a row away from home even better.

"We just did our job. We did not play magnificent. We did our job in the end which is to qualify for the next round.

"When Harry came to the game and Sonny started coming from the left it's more his natural habitat and he had his chance and he scored a goal which was very important for us.

"We were going into a direction of big risk when you have 1-1 in the result. If you let the game go you are in a big risk, so the second goal was important.

"When Harry scored it killed the game which probably we should have done in the first half. In the first half we were 41 minutes without scoring and then we gave them space to play.

"In the second half the game became more difficult for us after our changes and something that pleases me a lot, because I like to feel the players on the bench committed to the team and ready to make an impact. The people who came from the bench made a difference."
