"I think it's just nice for him, but not important for me. When he came for the water before he scored the goal, I told him 'I love everything you do on the pitch, don't be worried about scoring or not scoring because it is not important;," Mourinho said.
"He holds the ball the so well, he plays one touch, two touch so well. He moves, he gets behind people, he attacks, crosses, works when the team loses the ball and he presses well. I like everything he does. He's now a top striker and the goal is just a detail. Not important."
