Postecoglou praises players' efforts despite another defeat

Struggling Tottenham Hotspur had to settle for a 2-2 home draw against a revived Wolverhampton Wanderers side after a late strike by Norwegian substitute Jorgen Strand Larsen in an entertaining Premier League clash on Sunday.

Wolves had taken the lead after seven minutes through Hwang Hee-Chan who fired a low shot that went in off the post after a short free kick, but Spurs equalised five minutes later when Rodrigo Bentancur’s header beat keeper Jose Sa from a corner.

Tottenham spurned the chance to go in front before halftime when Son Heung-Min’s spot kick was saved but they did go in ahead after Brennan Johnson struck from close range. The second half was end-to-end with Strand Larsen scoring in the 87th minute.

The result left Spurs languishing in 11th with 24 points from 19 games - the first time they will finish the year lower than seventh since the 2008-09 season. Wolves are 17th on 16 points and stand two points above the relegation zone.

It's not been Son's best outing, including a missed penalty late in the first half, but with his side 2-1 up, the Spurs captain makes way for Werner.

Half an hour left to play at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and it's the hosts who still have a 2-1 lead. It's only a narrow advantage however, and Postecoglou will be desperate for his side to find a third goal to avoid any late nerves.

Bueno tries his luck with a long-range rocket, though it's a wild effort in truth and flies high and wide of Forster's goal.
