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

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