Europa League: Like the best player in the world – Mourinho hails Super Eagles striker

Fenerbahce manager, Jose Mourinho, hailed Super Eagles and Rangers striker, Cyriel Dessers, after his brilliant display in their UEFA Europa League clash on Thursday night.

Dessers opened the scoring in the 7th minute at the Ülker Stadyumu Fenerbahçe.

The 30-year-old then taunted the fans of the Turkish club by cupping his ears with his hands.

Dessers provided the assist for Rangers’ second goal and was also involved in the Gers’ third.

He was taken off in the 88th minute, after having done enough to impress Mourinho.

“Dessers is a good player, but today he looked like the best player in the world, but he is not,” Mourinho said in quotes revealed by Rangers Review.

The return leg will be played at the Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow next Thursday, with the Scottish side hoping to eliminate Fenerbahce.
