Romain Saiss of Wolverhampton Wanderers celebrates after scoring a goal to make it 1-1 (AMA)

Rui Patricio

Should have done better as Ndombele opened the scoring.

Saiss stuck out a leg which may have put the keeper off slightly, but the direction of the ball was unchanged and it went pretty central. Soft one to concede. 5

Nelson Semedo

Was keen to get forward and try to make things happen, doing well to set up a first-half chance for Silva. Caught out of position a couple of times defensively but, on the whole, a lot more solid. 7

Conor Coady

Tottenham started quickly and got their goal but after that, Coady was given little trouble by Kane and Son. The skipper looked pretty comfortable for most of the game. 7

Romain Saiss

A brilliant run and header from Saiss as he scored the equaliser.

Got across Kane at the near post and then gave Lloris no chance, deftly nodding home and ending Wolves' long search for a goal from a set piece. 7

Fernando Marcal

Not asked too many questions defensively. Did not do a huge deal wrong but also did not offer a vast amount going forward before having to be taken off. 6

Ruben Neves

Similarly to midfield partner Moutinho, Neves grew in confidence in the second half and put in a decent display – helping to pile pressure on Spurs with his passing. 7

Joao Moutinho

There have been questions as to whether Moutinho and Neves can still do it as a pair and while they did not quite dominate, they held their own and Moutinho was tidy. 7

Adama Traore

Given a start but Traore, again, did not shine. Experienced defender Davies did a good job against him, with the Spaniard often seeing his attempted crosses blocked or end up wayward.

His wait for a goal, and assist, goes on. Naturally creates issues with his pace and power but got to start doing more soon. 5

Daniel Podence

Always wants the ball and showed flashes of real skill. Not Wolves' standout player but did his bit as they ended up grabbing a deserved point against Mourinho's side. 7

Pedro Neto

Wolves' best player so far this season, and their top performer on the night.

The way he glides past players is remarkable, and the delivery he put in for Saiss to head in was also a delight.

Neto is a consistent threat and such a hard worker. 8

Fabio Silva

Missed a couple of good chances, with a first-time effort brushing the side netting and a late header going straight at Lloris.

Did well over the 90, though, holding it up effectively. 7

Subs

Rayan Ait-Nouri (for Marcal, 75)

Slotted in with little fuss. 6

Owen Otasowie (for Moutinho, 84)

Strong sliding tackle to dispossess Hojbjerg late on. 6

Vitinha (for Podence, 90)
