Romain Saiss 8, Rui Patricio 4; Harry Kane 6, Matt Doherty 5: Wolves v Tottenham player ratings

Spurs concede late again to drop more points

WOLVES RATINGS: Rui Patricio - 4, Should have done better for the opener and wasn’t tested too many times after that. EPA

Nelson Semedo - 6, Got forward well at times and threatened to create something. Booked for a foul on Tanguy Ndombele. AFP

Conor Coady - 7, Picked up an injury after 20 minutes but didn’t allow it to impact what was a pretty solid performance. Booked when he fouled Ndombele after making a mistake. EPA

Romain Saiss - 8, Looked confident in his defensive play and popped up to score the equaliser. EPA

Fernando Marcal - 5, Had a mixture of impressive moments and others that were very sloppy. Booked for a foul on Ndombele. Getty

Joao Moutinho - 5, Had a fair amount of the ball but didn’t manage to do too much with it. His passing in the early stages seemed a bit off. EPA

Ruben Neves - 6, Was neat on the ball throughout and kept things ticking along nicely. Tested Hugo Lloris from range. Getty

Adama Traore - 6, Threatened with his dribbling but often lacked the required end product. EPA

Daniel Podence - 6, Was busy and had some decent chances but couldn’t truly test Lloris. Booked for dissent. PA

Pedro Neto - 8, Looked very bright and deserved the assist he got for the equaliser with a good corner delivery. AFP

Fabio Silva - 5, Had a tough task against the Tottenham Hotspur backline but had some promising moments. Tried to get a penalty a fair few times but the referee was having none of it. Lacked conviction in his finishing. EPA

SUBS: Rayan Ait Nouri (Marcal 75’) – N/R, Did well against Matt Doherty after coming on. Reuters

Owen Otasowie (Moutinho 84’) – N/R, Looked very composed in the middle of the pitch and defended well. EPA

Vitinha (Podence 91’) – N/R, Got his appearance fee and a point. Happy days. Getty

TOTTENHAM RATINGS: Hugo Lloris - 6, Was brave to deny Silva. Didn’t really have a chance of preventing Saiss’ goal. AFP

Davinson Sanchez – 6, Put in a fairly solid performance in his first Premier League game since the 3-3 draw against West Ham. EPA

Eric Dier - 7, Looks so comfortable in the centre of Jose Mourinho’s back three and dealt with Silva well. Reuters

Ben Davies - 7, Assisted the opener and was convincing in most of his defensive work but allowed Saiss to get in front of him for the equaliser. PA

Matt Doherty - 5, Was easy to forget that Doherty was on the pitch until the latter stages as he returned to his old stomping ground. EPA

Harry Winks - 6, Did the basics well in his first league start since September but didn’t do anything to really catch the eye. Booked for a cynical foul on Traore. AP

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - 7, Held his midfield position well and helped to protect Spurs’ defence. Reuters

Sergio Reguilon - 6, Got forward very well but often lacked the required end product whenever chances arose for him. Getty

Tanguy Ndombele - 8, Scored after 57 seconds and continued to threaten the Wolves defence throughout his time on the pitch. EPA

Heung-min Son - 6, Was marshalled by the Wolves defence well and looked very quiet by his standards. AP

Harry Kane - 6, Was far from his best and didn’t really create that much for himself or his teammates. EPA

SUBS: Steven Bergwijn (Reguilon 63’) - 6, Showed plenty of energy and willingness after coming off the bench. Getty

Moussa Sissoko (Ndombele 70’) – N/R, Was a more defensive option than his compatriot and the move didn’t work. Reuters

Erik Lamela (Son 83’) – N/R, Tried to make something happen but didn’t manage it. Reuters

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 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 deserved equaliser from a corner.

The performance and result, which meant Spurs failed to make up ground at the top of the table, will ensure their approach comes under scrutiny as they threw away points from a winning position for the fourth time this season.

Mourinho said: "We are frustrated with the result. We had control of the game, but we had 89 minutes to score more goals and we didn't.

"It was not just about not scoring goals, it was also about not being dangerous and not being ambitious. For me, that's the problem.

"Of course, we can go back to a corner. We can say that in Liverpool we should win and we lost with a corner. We can say that here we should win and we drew with a corner.

"We can say against Palace we should win and we drew with a free-kick. I could go even to previous matches.

"But I don't think is very, very obvious to go in that direction and not to go in other directions. The other direction for me is you score a goal in the first minute, you have 89 minutes to score more goals and we didn't."

Spurs have now dropped eight points from winning positions this season as they have had to settle for draws against Newcastle, West Ham, Palace and now Wolves after conceding goals in the last 10 minutes.
