In the match between Tottenham and Newcastle United in the Premier League third round at White Hard Lane, coach José Mourinho’s students were completely overwhelmed by the advantage of playing at home. Throughout the match, they fired 23 shots and made Newcastle goalkeeper Darlow a reluctant hero with 11 saves.
Tottenham even opened the scoring and maintained that lead in the closing seconds. But the wasted opportunities cost them money as Newcastle received a penalty after Carroll hit Dier’s head with the ball. From the 11-meter spot, Callum Wilson scored the game to make the score 1-1. Coach Mourinho even got upset and left before the Newcastle player took the penalty.
Sharing in the press conference room after the game, coach Mourinho expressed his great disappointment when Tottenham missed the last minute victory, pointing out two reasons why his team had to share points against Newcastle.
“Tottenham came in very well. We dominated the game and created many chances. In the first half we scored 1 goal, but if we took better advantage of the opportunities we would have scored 3 to 4.” Admittedly, the Newcastle keeper played very well, Karl Darlow made many excellent saves. In the second half, Tottenham continued to control the game but failed to score. After that we have to receive 11 meters and lose 2 points, “coach Mourinho told Sky Sports.
“I’m not talking about the situation where the referee hits Eric Dier, because why the decision has been made. Tottenham have completely surpassed Newcastle, the 1-1 draw does not reflect what they play. We will continue to improve, the team needs learn from this game, ”added the Portuguese captain.
