(Wolverhampton 1-1 Tottenham) Already after 57 seconds, Tottenham took the lead. For a long time it seemed to give them a long-awaited victory, but again it was a loss of points for José Mourinho’s men, who have only added two points in the last four games.
“A point against Wolves would not normally be a bad result, but when you score in the first minute and you are in control, it is frustrating,” José Mourinho told Sky Sports.
After the goal, there was not much striker from Tottenham.
– Not having a shot on goal after the 21st minute is just not good enough, Jamie Redknapp says in the Sky Sports studio after the game about Tottenham’s play throughout the game.
Asked about it, it was a word button José Mourinho who answered.
– I know how to prepare the team. I know what I said during the break. I don’t want to say more than that. We had neither the ambition nor the hunger to go for more, says Mourinho.

Tottenham had a hole at the top of the table after the 11th round of the series, but since then there hasn’t been much to cheer on in North London. A draw against Crystal Palace and losses to Liverpool and Leicester meant they were in sixth place prior to round 15, six points behind Liverpool.
After Liverpool finally stumbled at home to West Bromwich, Tottenham had a chance to regain some of the lead. They also started the game very well.
Only 57 seconds were played when Tanguy Ndombele put Tottenham in the lead. It did its part to keep Tottenham in third place on the table, but after a relatively poor match, Wolverhampton struggled in the draw just before the end.

Romain Saïss made it 1-1 with a nice header from a corner kick.
Thus, it ended 1-1, and Tottenham have now only added two points in the last four games. Tottenham are now in fifth place, still six points behind Liverpool.
The draw was in a sense symptomatic of Tottenham. They have now lost nine points in the last ten minutes of this season’s Premier League matches, the most of all teams this season.

Tottenham quickly came out of the starting blocks and Son Heung-min landed a corner kick within seconds. He ended up with a shot from Tanguy Ndombele in the return room, and the Frenchman sent a low shot that slipped on Rui Patrício. The goalkeeper could probably have put a hand on the ball, but saw the end too late and had to see Tottenham take the lead already after 57 seconds.

Wolverhampton improved in the second half and took advantage of the greater opportunities, but neither Fábio Silva nor Daniel Podence managed to put Hugo Lloris in big challenges.
The second half could also have given early knowledge online after Silva fell inside the box and called for a penalty after a duel with Eric Dier seconds into the round. However, referee Paul Tierney pointed to the corner flag and the Wolverhampton striker also did not receive VAR support.
The home team had a hard time taking advantage of the big chances in the second half and Tottenham defended very well for a long time. However, five minutes before the end, the tie came after a corner kick. Both teams tried to take the victory in the final minutes, but everything fell to 1-1 and one point each.
