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.

Cunha tries to restore Wolves' lead, but he can only fire wide of the target. As has been the case in so many of Spurs' games this season, it looks like we could be in for a thriller here!

GOOOAAALLL!!! BENTANCUR MAKES IT 1-1!!! Wolves' lead certainly didn't last long as the hosts level. Porro swings a corner in from the right, and Bentancur evades his marker before sending a bullet header flying past Sa and in. All square at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium!

Wolves have a record of three wins, no draws and three defeats when scoring the opening goal in the Premier League this season. It's been a real question mark of theirs, but under Pereira, could things be different?
