Two players let Ange Postecoglou down and three stand up as Tottenham suffer heartbreak

Ange Postecoglou said going into the game against Wolves that his team's bleak form did not load him with pressure. Sitting 12th in the Premier League ahead of welcoming Vitor Pereira's resurgent side, the Australian coach is sure to have at least felt a blow to the gut when Jorgen Strand Larsen's goal prevented a Tottenham win. Wolves were more than worth a point as they left London with a 2-2 draw - but Spurs almost made it over the line.
Hee-chan Hwang opened the scoring for the Midlands side from a well-worked set-piece, as his strike from the edge of the box went in off the post. Spurs wasted little time delivering an emphatic response, however, as Pedro Porro's corner was forcefully headed in by Rodrigo Bentancur to level the scores.
Andre caught Brennan Johnson from behind, allowing Son Heung-min to have the opportunity to hand Spurs the lead from the penalty spot. The South Korean failed to find the net in a moment that summed up his afternoon. It was Dejan Kulusevski who fed the ball to Johnson on that occasion and he soon found him again. In first half stoppage time the Swede served the ball on a plate for the Wales international to sidefoot into the net.
The north London side had to remain resolute as they came under pressure in the second period and looked set to complete the task in an uncharacteristic performance. Strand Larsen found the room required to earn Wolves a point after 87 minutes. Mirror Football looks at six performances from the clash...
