Tottenham Hotspur threw away two points on Sunday night, as they drew 1-1 away at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Tanguy Ndombele fired Spurs into the lead, but Romain Saiss headed home an equaliser to give Wolves a share of the spoils.
Jose Mourinho will have been gutted to lose points to another second-half goal; it’s happened too often recently, in games against Crystal Palace, Liverpool and now Wolves.
That vulnerability may hold Spurs back in the title race, and fans will be concerned with Tottenham’s occasional defensive issues.
Mourinho even went with a back three at Molineux, giving Davinson Sanchez a first Premier League start since the 3-3 draw with West Ham United in October.
The Colombian’s future has looked murky for weeks, having seemingly dropped behind Joe Rodon in Tottenham’s defensive pecking order.
Sanchez earned praise from Spurs fans for his performance, who felt he was ‘class’ and played well against Wolves.
Others feel that he won’t get the credit he deserves for his display, feeling that he comes in for too much unwarranted criticism despite playing well.
