Mauricio Pochettino Says Tottenham Played 'Too Much Long Ball' Against Wolves

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino said his team played "too much long ball" in their surprise Premier League defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.

Spurs went ahead through Harry Kane, but Wolves hit back with three second-half goals, and Pochettino said his team took the wrong approach after half-time, per FourFourTwo.

"We did not dominate the ball in the second half. We were wrong in the way we tried to play, too much long ball and our energy dropped in the second half. It was difficult to come back into the game after their equaliser.
