Visibly upset ball boy removed after altercation with Lucas Moura against Bournemouth

Tottenham star Lucas Moura was involved in an incident with a ball boy during his team’s 3-2 win over Bournemouth.

The Spurs trailed 2-0 at Vitality Stadium thanks to a double by Kieffer Moore. But goals from Sessegnon, Ben Davies and a stoppage-time goal from Bentancur completed the successful comeback for Conte’s team.

Lucas Moura entered the break to help his team turn the game around. At 2-2 and with Spurs racing against the clock for a winner, he ran to collect the ball for a throw-in, but the Bournemouth ball boy tried to take his time returning the ball.

It was then that, as reported by BBC Sport, an angry Lucas Moura took the ball from the youngster, leaving him “visibly upset”. The ball boy was shortly after expelled by the stewards.
