WOLVERHAMPTON, England - A key ingredient of the Chelsea sides Jose Mourinho led to three Premier League titles was an ability to eke out victories even when second-best on the day and Tottenham Hotspur demonstrated that handy knack on Sunday.
But Jan Vertonghen popped up to score from Christian Eriksen’s corner in stoppage time to push Tottenham into fifth place, three points behind Chelsea who they host next weekend. Tottenham had only won three matches in their opening 12 league matches and were 11 points off the top four but have won four of the five under Mourinho and secured a place in the last 16 of the Champions League.
“Magic hands,” Mourinho remarked. “My father played in this stadium against Wolves in the UEFA Cup as goalkeeper. He was always telling me, a goalkeeper of a top team had to be different to the others because the goalkeeper of a top team doesn’t have 10 saves to make. You have one, but when the one comes the magic hands have to be there and Paulo did it for us.”
