Tottenham Win At Wolves ‘An Incredible Three Points’ — Mourinho

By Daily Sports on December 16, 2019

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho said his side had won an “incredible three points” against a Wolves team he believes can challenge for the Champions League places.

Jan Vertonghen scored a dramatic late winner as Spurs ended Wolves’ 11-match unbeaten Premier League run to narrow the gap on the top four with victory at Molineux.

Vertonghen headed in from a corner in injury time, after Wolves’ relentless approach had been rewarded as Adama Traore thumped in a deserved equaliser from the edge of the box midway through the second half.

On Wolves, Mourinho said: “My feeling is they are fighting for more than they said. They are not just there for the top six. They can do more. They are a fantastic team. This is a big victory.

“This game is a special game because the opponent is a special opponent. Nuno [Espirito Santo] has to be very proud of Wolves’ record.”

On his own side’s progress, he added: “We went about a year without winning a Premier League game away and we’ve managed two in a short amount of time. Now we are not looking to the bottom of the table, we’re looking higher up.”

Following a breathless opening period, Lucas Moura’s mazy run and exquisite finish into the roof of the net had put Tottenham ahead after eight minutes.

Spurs had to withstand intense pressure as Wolves chased an equaliser, but it was they who went closest before half-time as Eric Dier struck the post from Dele Alli’s delightful, dinked pass.

Tottenham goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga produced an excellent save from Romain Saiss’ header in the closing stages as Mourinho’s visitors appeared to be hanging on, before Vertonghen’s decisive goal.
