The Tottenham player said, “I’m very angry,” believing he should have scored a hat-trick against Wolves.
Despite scoring Tottenham’s lone goal in their 2-1 loss to Wolves in the Premier League this weekend, Dejan Kulusevski expressed frustration with his finishing.
At the start of the second half at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Swede scored a crucial goal for the Lilywhites by dancing through the area and putting the ball between Jose Sa’s legs to tie the score.
Though they tried their hardest for the next twenty minutes, Spurs were unable to penetrate a resolute Wolves defense and instead lost the match 2-1 after being hit on the break.
Due to the low block, Tottenham did not have many opportunities throughout the game, but Kulusevski did see a few opportunities to increase his tally.

Dejan Kulusevski was upset with Wolves and with himself.
In his post-match interview with SpursPLAY, the winger expressed his frustration at not being able to convert, as Tottenham fell out of the Premier League top four for the second time in a row.
“It’s definitely difficult [to break teams apart],” he stated. We tried throughout the first half, but we were unable to solve the problem. I always think you have to do something exceptional, and special teams come from confidence, so that’s usually where the talent comes in. Therefore, you must persevere and know that good work will come more easily.
It was a single happy moment [for the goal], but I’m really upset and furious because I had two more opportunities to score that were extremely close, but that’s life.
Spurs View:
It is true that you frequently need to be clinical in front of goal in those low block games. Sadly, Tottenham’s style of play will always see them give up chances on the break; therefore, even when their opponents have 11 men behind the ball, they must constantly find a way to generate chances of their own.
