		</div><p>Jose Mourinho has indicated that Tottenham’s defensive woes have made it impossible for him to know his best line-up at the back.</p>
<p>Spurs’ surge up the table under Mourinho has been undermined by a weak defence and that was on show again against Norwich as they gifted the bottom-club two goals in a 2-2 draw.</p>
<p>Mourinho began the game at Carrow Road with a back three, but hooked off Juan Foyth and Jan Vertonghen at the break, while Serge Aurier, who scored an own goal, and Toby Alderweireld also had poor games.</p>
<p>While the Portuguese is in no doubt about his attacking options, he says performances have made it difficult to be so sure at the other end.</p>
<p><em>“It’s normal, no?,”</em> he said. <em>“Do I have doubts that Harry Kane is my number nine? Do I have doubts that Dele Alli is my number 10 for example?</em></p>
<p><em>“Performances create your doubts or performances kill your doubts, that’s just the way it is.”</em></p>
<p>Those defensive errors cost Spurs the chance to move into the top four of the Premier League for the first time since September.</p>
<p>Ryan Sessegnon, handed his second start of the festive period, knew it was an opportunity gone begging.</p>

<p><em>“I think from our side it was very disappointing,”</em> he told Spurs TV. <em>“We knew coming here was a chance for us to go and get three points and push us further up the table and you could say it was a chance wasted.”</em></p>
<p>The outcome might have been different had the perpendicular lines of VAR not saved Spurs from going 2-0 down in the first half.</p>
<p>After Mario Vrancic’s opener, Teemu Pukki looked to have doubled Norwich’s lead only for VAR to rule the Finland striker offside by a matter of millimetres.</p>
<p>Christian Eriksen then brought Spurs level and after Aurier’s gaffe, a late Harry Kane penalty denied Norwich a first home win since September.</p>
<p>Canaries skipper Grant Hanley says that the video replay system has changed the game.</p>
<p><em>“It’s a strange feeling, you work so hard to get a couple (of goals) up against a team like Spurs and you’re looking at the board and thinking, ‘Oh no, what’s the outcome going to be?’ but that’s the game today,”</em> Hanley said.</p>
<p><em>“That’s how it’s developed, that’s how it is and it’s not going to change, so as a player you have to take it as it comes, stay focused on the game in hand.”</em></p>
