FT: Tottenham 1-0 Wolves
Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs boss Antonio Conte speaking to Match of the Day: "In the first half, they caused us some problems. They did not have big chances to score but they were more dangerous than us. We dominated the second half and had chances to score many goals. Playing against Wolverhampton is not easy - they are an important team with really good players.
"We were good defensively though in the first half and in the second half I was really pleased that we pressed high and covered the right space. Don’t forget last season we lost against Wolves and Southampton and Chelsea. This season from those games we now have seven points and this gives us confidence.
"I have a group of players with a good chemistry in the dressing room, between them, between us, and I think this is very important."
On Harry Kane scoring his 250th goal for Tottenham: “You know how important Harry is for us. I’m really pleased to see him score, especially when he helps the team. We are talking about a world class striker. With ball, we know all about his skill and ability but he also presses and works really hard."
On Ivan Perisic's first start for Spurs: "Like the rest of the team, he struggled a bit in the first half. In the second half, I saw the Perisic I know from Inter."
