Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho was delighted with Ben Davies' performance in their Europa League win against LASK.

Davies was used in a central defensive role.

The Welshman impressed Mourinho who says he does not have to alternate with fellow left-back Sergio Reguilon.

"A little bit like Harry and Vinicius," Mourinho said. "When we're speaking about Vinicius being a good player too and say he only plays when Harry doesn't, it's good that Vinicius can play with Harry.

"Ben and Reguilon is a little bit the same. Can they play together or for one to play and the other one has to be on the bench? Yes they can play together and that's a very good thing for us.

"Ben is very intelligent. So that's why it's quite easy to understand the difference between playing left-back, centre-back with five or centre-back with four.

"Of course left-footed there are not many centre-backs with a left foot. Some clubs have them but the majority don't.

"To have him as an option is also good because to attack, the build-up is also important."
