Jose Mourinho described Tanguy Ndombele’s performance as “phenomenal” after he returned to the Tottenham side against Norwich.
The Frenchman impressed in midfield along with Christian Eriksen in a 2-2 draw at Carrow Road, where Eriksen scored with a free-kick and Harry Kane a penalty.
It was an emphatic return for Ndombele – but Spurs boss Mourinho was much less impressed with his side’s defending, which was poor again. [phone]

“We have to work to try to stop the mistakes,” Mourinho admitted.
Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes Mourinho will regard it as two points dropped – and will be determined to shore things up at the back.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Redknapp said: “It was a big opportunity. You’re playing against a team that’s at the bottom and they’re scrambling to get a point in the end.
“I think Jose will be disappointed. He started with a back three, went to a back four and it looked marginally better in the second half.
“But I think it’s the manner in which they’re losing goals which will really frustrate Jose Mourinho because he’s all about clean sheets – 25 for Chelsea when he first came to the Premier League.
“At the moment you can’t see where that Tottenham side can keep a clean sheet. They really are struggling to defend properly.”
