<\/p>\n

Tottenham Hotspur manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has spoken on his side\u2019s 3-1 defeat by Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Goals from Willy Boly, Raul Jimenez and Helder Costa gave Wolves victory over Spurs at Wembley as Harry Kane\u2019s strike was not enough to hand Pochettino\u2019s side a point against the visitors.<\/p>\n

Pochettino said his players dropped energy and focus, adding that in the last 20 minutes Tottenham conceded three goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the game was under control in the first half,\u201d Pochettino was quoted by Evening Standard as saying after the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe, it was easier than we expected in the first half to dominate the game and to play so easy. They played so deep, chasing us. We didn\u2019t concede one chance.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in the second half I think we started to feel maybe the game was over and when you start to feel the game is over it\u2019s tough to play in the way you play.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou start to decide in the wrong way, you start to play too many long balls and to play more with your heart than your head. We started to spend a lot of energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not enough to play 60, 70 minutes,\u201d Pochettino added.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to play your best for 95 minutes. Like today we dropped energy and focus and in the last 20 minutes we conceded three goals.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
