'A well-deserved equaliser'

FT: Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank told Sky Sports: "We played a good first half in many ways. There were times we could have done more.

"After their goal we lost a bit of control. We didn't keep the structure and were rushing too much. The effort and mentality from the players was fantastic.

"We got a well-deserved equaliser in the end. Probably a fair reflection.

"They changed formation at half-time and changed to a 5-3-2. Goals change games.

"You're happy because the players worked so hard. Of course we'd like the three points but it's good to get one. It's a reminder this league is relentless."

'Gutting'

FT: Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

Wolves

Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone told Sky Sports: "Gutting for the lads to put in a good performance like that and concede is gutting.

"A point is better than none, especially after the last few weeks.

"We have to be proud of today. That is our baseline performance now.

"We have to improve. We haven't won a game."

'Everything was there but the last minute'

FT: Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

Wolves

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira told BBC Sport: "We deserved the three points and almost in the end it's difficult to accept. I'm trying to come back but it's difficult. We controlled the game in the second half.

"The spirit was there. Everything was there but the last minute, it's football.

"It's difficult to come to this stadium and play this way. The first half we had some problems but the second half my team were the best team on the pitch.

"Keeping this spirit, two games in a row without losing, we played very well against Everton. Tactically and mentally we are in conditions to compete. We are on the same page. I believe we'll get points.

"They are working well, all of them, fighting for the position. We need to find our balance, give some confidence for the first XI. When they came from the bench they showed the spirit we have in this team.

"Mentally we are stronger.

"We [him and the owner] talk every day, if we have something to talk, we talk."

'Football sometimes is not fair'

FT: Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

Wolves

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira told Sky Sports: "We deserved the three points but football sometimes is not fair.

"Keeping this spirit, playing the way we played in the second half, we'll get our points.

"We were the best team in the second half. I need to keep my balance. It's very difficult to concede a goal in the last minute.

"The difference is now we are working together. Before we didn't have time to work together. Now everyone knows what we want. The first half was diffcult for us to control the crosses but the second half was very good. The last game was very good. Two games without losing.

"I really believed we would win the game until the last minute. It was good for him [Santiago Bueno] and good for us. Now we're proving our quality.

"Now mentally and tactically we are in conditions to compete."

'I'm not happy at all' - Spurs' goalscorer

FT: Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham goalscorer Joao Palhinha told Sky Sports: "I'm not happy at all. These are the games we need to win. We did a great first half. The second half not really. We could have created more chances.

"It's one more game for us to improve and analyse. It's not going to be easy. I'm really sad, me and my team-mates and the staff, because it is mandatory for us to win these games. It feels like a loss.

"We fight untl the last minute. Wolves defended well. We need to score our chances."
