Tottenham Hotspur lost against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Jose Mourinho has told Football.London that Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raul Jimenez is a fantastic player.

Mourinho made the comment following Tottenham’s defeat to Wolves at home in the Premier League on Sunday.

The 28-year-old striker scored the Wanderers’ third goal in their 3-2 win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

Spurs boss Mourinho has praised the Mexico International, but he does not believe that the striker was the difference between the two sides.

Mourinho told Football.London when asked if Jimenez was the difference between the two teams: “It would be too easy for me to say that. I prefer to focus on this game today and try to forget the players that we are missing.

“They have Jimenez yes, fantastic player, and they have that incredible counter attack which is very difficult to stop, especially if you don’t have that mentality they showed.”
