Jose Mourinho criticised his Tottenham team for failing to show any ambition to build on their early lead in the 1-1 draw against Wolves.

Spurs went in front through Tanguy Ndombele after just 57 seconds but then, just as they did at Crystal Palace a fortnight ago, retreated en masse and could not see the game out.

Incessant Wolves pressure was finally rewarded in the 86th minute as Romain Saiss headed home a thoroughly-deserved equaliser from a corner.

It was the second successive home game in which they have come from behind to take something, after beating Chelsea last time out, and boss Nuno Espirito Santo was proud of his side.

“It’s a mix of everything. It’s not only to do with fitness,” he said. “It is a lot to do with belief and the spirit of the boys. Today was very hard on them and the next game we will clearly have issues because the effort was huge.

“After the first minute where we conceded, every action of our players was very intense, very aggressive.

“It requires a big heart, a will to do things to help the team. This is our spirit and we want to continue like that. Even in the last minute, we had a good chance. So we always want to stay and make things happen until the last whistle of the referee.”
