JOSE MOURINHO is back to his old ways after getting booked for cheekily glancing at a tablet being used by the Southampton bench.
The Portuguese walked over to the rival dugout during Spurs’ 1-0 defeat and had a look at what his opposite number was up to.

Mike Dean booked the Spurs boss, who had no complaints
Mike Dean booked the Special One on the touchline before Saints held on to their slender lead from Danny Ings’ tidy finish to get their year off to a flier.
Some fans accused Mourinho of spying on Ralph Hasenhuttl’s tactics, while it was also claimed that the Special One was watching a replay of Harry Kane’s disallowed equaliser.
Speaking after the game, the ex-Chelsea and Manchester United boss accepted his punishment – but hit out at Saints goalkeeping coach Andrew Sparkes.
He told BT Sport: “I was rude. But I was rude with an idiot.
“I clearly deserved the yellow card. I had bad words.”
Mourinho’s day could not have gone much worse as Kane limped off following his overturned strike.
The England star was clutching his hamstring and faces a spell on the sidelines as Spurs try and push for a top-four spot.
Mourinho added: “Harry Kane plays every minute, he plays all the time. It might be big, it might be small. For sure he will be out.
“Tanguy Ndombele, I don’t know. I imagine this is the tenth injury of the season. They stop him to play. It doesn’t give him continuity.
“We had three days between matches. Once more, he is out again.”
