Wolves 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur: 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis | Premier League 2019-20 

#5 Tottenham are beginning to play like a Mourinho-drilled side

Jose Mourinho's teams have often been heralded for giving up until the end and holding huge mentality

It's always been, and will remain a stapled feature of Jose Mourinho teams. They fight until the end, despite not faring well until the telling moments. No shoulder seems to drop, and while the players endure astonishingly disappointing moments on either side of the field, they tend to produce quality at some point.

Kane had fluffed his lines on a couple of occasions and failed to test Rui Patricio, with the hosts having more of the ball and the openings. It was far from incisive or clinical from Mourinho's perspective, but his players believed in that one moment that eventually paid off and helped them take home all three points amid back-breaking circumstances at West Midlands.

Football is won through a lot of these numbers, skirmishes and mismatches. It's not always the best team that wins. They weren't at their supreme best, but Spurs bettered a record that read 10 losses in last 14 PL away games.

And although Wolves can't be billed as the better team on the night, one can't take away the fact that they deserved at least a point for all the energy and determination they ejected into the game..
