Tottenham v Wolves player ratings: Lloris 5, Kane 6; Sa 8, Jimenez 7

The visitors scored both their goals in the opening 18 minutes, through Raul Jimenez and Leander Dendoncker, to lay the foundations of the victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Lloris was involved again with a woeful pass to Ben Davies, prompting the defender to gift possession to Wolves.

Daniel Podence's shot was deflected on to the post by Davinson Sanchez and Dendoncker bundled in from close-range.

It was not until the final 20 minutes that Antonio Conte's team looked like they were going to add to the measly eight away goals Wolves have conceded this term and were booed off at gull-time.

When you show better desire than your opponent, when you understand the defeats have to hurt you a lot, not a little. This
