Tottenham boss Thomas Frank praised his side’s spirit but admitted they lost their way after Wolves struck first in Saturday’s 1-1 Premier League draw at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Softfootball reports.
Spurs dominated early and created several clear chances, but they fell behind when Santiago Bueno scored for the visitors in the 54th minute. Joao Palhinha scored a stunning equalizer in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time to rescue a point for Spurs in their Premier League clash against Wolves.
The draw follows Spurs’ previous outing, where they showed grit to come from two goals down and earn a 2-2 draw away at Brighton, extending their unbeaten away run to three games under Thomas Frank’s new era.
Speaking via the club’s official media as understood by Softfootball, manager Thomas Frank began by commending his team’s strong first-half performance and overall control before conceding. He said
It was a good first half—we controlled the game, created chances, even had a disallowed goal and maybe a penalty shout. But after their goal, we lost our structure and coolness.
Frank further emphasized the importance of his players’ mentality and the unwavering support from the home fans. He claimed:
The effort and mentality were very important. The fans kept pushing us forward. In the end, we get a deserved point. Of course, we’d love to win, but if we can’t, then don’t lose and keep the momentum.
Reflecting on the challenge of facing Wolves a side Spurs have failed to beat in their last six league meetings Frank acknowledged the unpredictable nature of the Premier League:
It shows how relentless this league is—you never know what you’re going to get.
With their home record still intact, Spurs will now shift focus to Europe as they prepare to face Bodø/Glimt on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League. Thomas Frank will be seeking a sharper attacking display and a statement victory to strengthen Tottenham’s group-stage campaign
