He then moved to the Premier League, initially with Tottenham Hotspur in 2004, where he famously scored a 45-yard ghost goal against Manchester United that was wrongly not given by the officials despite goalkeeper Roy Carroll having fumbled his catch and clawed the ball back from at least a yard behind the goal line.

Mendes was capped twelve times by the Portugal national team and was a member of their squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
