Mourinho explains why he was blown over by ‘incredible’ Tottenham win
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has hailed his side’s three points away to a difficult Wolves side on Sunday as “incredible”.
Spurs went ahead through Lucas Moura’s eighth-minute strike but had to wait until second-half stoppage time to snatch a winner through Jan Vertonghen, after Adama Traore inspired a Wolves comeback.
The result ended Wolves’ 11-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League, something which Mourinho took great pride in doing.
The Portuguese told BBC Sport after the game: “I’m very proud. Nuno has to be very proud of Wolves’ record.
“They are a very difficult opponent. I said that in press conference on Friday that they are tactically, technically, mentally very strong.
“We knew the game was going to be difficult. They didn’t catch us by surprise. We had a very good start like we tried to. “We almost scored a second goal but against Wolves that would not have killed the game. They are very strong.
“They use the sides, then the centre, very difficult in transition. Adama Traore and Diogo Jota are incredibly fast and difficult to stop.
“We coped with their spirit. At 1-1 they tried, Wolves are not a team satisfied with a point.
“We knew if we arrive in the last part we knew we could score. After that we had to close the door for the last five mins, three incredible points.”
Sunday’s result also moved Spurs to within three points of the top four, having been much further off the Champions League qualifying places when Mauricio Pochettino was sacked.
The club’s next game could see them move level on points with Chelsea with victory over the Blues.
