Tottenham coach José Mourinho showed a frustrated figure after revealing that the deep defense tactic employed by his team in the second half was “not intended”.
Tottenham took the first lead after a mistake by Rui Patricio allowed Tanguy Ndombele to score from range.
But with time running out, a header from Romain Saiss restored parity to the scores to ensure both sides had to settle for one point each.
Talking to Sky Sports after the game, Mourinho He said: “A point against the Wolves would normally not be a bad result because they are a strong opponent. But by scoring in the first minute and having 89 minutes to score more, there is a sense of frustration.
“I know how I prepare the team, I know all that and I don’t want to say much more. We didn’t have that ambition or desire to go for more. You know how I work. “

Asked about what his team needs to do more, Mourinho added: “It’s not my place to talk about that. I know my team and my players better than anyone ”.
Reflecting further to BBC Sport on why Spurs couldn’t keep their lead, Mourinho said: “Tanguy Ndombele had a good game when he had energy.
“I didn’t want us to sit deeply, I put Bergwijn for Reguilon, a fresh Lamela for a tired Son.
“Defend in depth, that is not the intention. You know what I asked you at halftime, if they couldn’t do better it’s because they couldn’t do better ”.
Same frustrating mistakes – Doherty
The favorite of the former wolves Matt doherty He also spoke to Sky Sports and expressed frustration at the all too familiar method in which Tottenham conceded.
“It’s very frustrating, such a late goal and again from set pieces,” said the Spurs right-back. “We were only 1-0 up so it cost us two points, we are not happy with that.
“There is more to come from us, we attack together, we defend together. It is up to all of us to get on the field. We knew how difficult it would be and they didn’t prove us wrong.
“It is a missed opportunity. We needed to win the game and we backed off to see it even though we didn’t play that well. “
