Although disappointed his team were not able to secure a first three Premier League points away at Tottenham Hotspur, Vitor Pereira was proud of another improved performance from his players.
The Old Gold were denied in the final moments of the game as Joao Palhinha’s strike ensured the hosts would take a point from the game following Santi Bueno’s first Wolves goal putting his side ahead early in the second half, but the head coach knows a first Premier League win of the season will soon arrive if his players maintain their recent displays in future outings.
On drawing away at Tottenham
“Congratulations to my team, to my players, we deserved the three points, but football is football.
“Football sometimes is not fair and in the last minute we conceded the goal. But keeping this spirit, playing in the way that we play in the second half, we will get our points.
“We were the best team in the second half. In my opinion, we deserved to win, but that is football. I need to keep my balance because it is very difficult to concede a goal in the last minute, but football is what it is.”
On increasing the performance levels
“The difference is now we are working together. Before, we didn't have time to work together. Now, everybody knows what we want, we can play in different systems.
“The first half was difficult for us, difficult to control the crosses, but the second half, in my opinion, was very good. The last game was very good.
“Two games without losing. But we need to keep this spirit. We need to increase our level and to rest a bit.”

On Bueno’s first Wolves goal
“I really believed that we would win the game until the last minute. It was good for him, it was good for us, but we have the spirit.
“We have the spirit, we have quality, and now we are proving our quality.”
On keeping his team’s spirits high
“The last game against Everton and today, I think now, mentally and tactically, we are in conditions to compete.
“But it’s difficult. I said to them, we must keep this spirit, this mentality, we must keep playing like this in this way, and we'll get points for sure in the future.”
