Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho is displeased with the solitary point his team picked up at Saint James’ Park in Sunday’s 2-2 Premier League draw between Spurs and Newcastle United.
Joelinton and Joe Willock struck for the hosts in between a Harry Kane brace as the two sides settled for a share of the spoils.
A win would have taken Spurs into the Champions League places, a fact not lost on Mourinho who saw the result as two points dropped.
“It is not a good point,” said Mourinho in his post-match interview. “We came (here) with the objective to win it so I am not happy with the point. 
“I don’t want to go very deep on my (analysis). Because I feel that what I think cannot be with you (the media) but can only be said in the dressing room.”
The point sees Tottenham move to fifth on the standings with 49 points from 30 matches, two points adrift of fourth placed Chelsea.
