Tottenham's Ange Postecoglou claims that they had 'big moments' in the last match | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur’s latest outing against Wolverhampton Wanderers ended in frustration, as they were forced to settle for a draw despite dominating large parts of the match.

Ange Postecoglou’s side went into the game under immense pressure, having suffered back-to-back defeats in the Premier League.

The need for a response was clear, not only to restore confidence within the squad but also to maintain their pursuit of a top-four finish.

However, Tottenham quickly regrouped, and Rodrigo Bentancur equalised with a header from a Pedro Porro corner.

The home side then appeared to be in control, and Brennan Johnson put them ahead, giving Spurs a slender 2-1 lead.

Yet, the game was far from over, and despite Tottenham’s dominance, they could not put the game to bed.

Tottenham were given the opportunity to extend their lead after Johnson won a penalty, but Heung-min Son’s spot-kick was saved by Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa, adding to the tension.

In the dying minutes, the visitors punished Tottenham’s inability to kill off the game, scoring a late equaliser and leaving Spurs with just a point.

According to Football London, Ange Postecoglou’s post-match thoughts were candid as he assessed the 2-2 draw.

Reflecting on his team’s performance, he said: "It's a disappointing outcome. Obviously we went a goal down but after that I felt we controlled the game. It wasn't easy always to get openings but we did look pretty threatening every time we did get forward."

Despite Spurs’ dominance in possession and chances, the Australian manager acknowledged the team’s failure to finish the game off, which ultimately led to the frustrating draw.

Postecoglou continued, "We scored a couple of goals, we obviously missed the penalty and then second half, I just thought we had some really big moments to kill the game off. The lads are fairly fatigued (...), we're not as sharp as we can be, which is understandable because we're asking a lot of a sort of small core group of players."

The manager’s words reflect a deeper issue, with fatigue affecting the team’s sharpness and efficiency in front of goal.

Looking ahead to the challenge

While the draw gave Spurs a point, it left their top-four ambitions on shaky ground. The fixture against Newcastle United, a direct rival for a Champions League spot, is now just around the corner.

With key players clearly fatigued, Tottenham will need to find a way to recover quickly if they are to maintain their momentum in the league.
