Tottenham boss Thomas Frank claimed that his side deserved a point after they came from 2-0 behind to draw 2-2 with Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League.
Spurs were lacklustre for large parts of the contest, and watched as the hosts spurned several great chances to take the lead before Jens Petter Hauge’s second half double looked to condemn Spurs to defeat.
However, Micky van de Ven and an own goal from Jostein Gundersen was enough to salvage a point and leave the visitors inside the top eight of the Champions League league phase after the games played.
“The first positive is that the mentality and character of the players was very good,” said Frank post-match.
“We stayed in the game and kept fighting. That gave us a very good point away from home. When you’re 2-0 down against a Bodo team that is very good here, we need to be happy with that.
“Until 2-0, especially in the first half, Bodo was better than us. We know they are exceptionally good at what they’re doing. They’re well coached. That was clear to see in the first half. We struggled a little bit defensively with the high pressure and we should’ve been braver on the ball.
“After 2-0, we were the best team. We got back from 2-0 down against Brighton. Back from behind against Wolves. Back from behind today. That’s hugely important. Our mentality is to keep running and keep fighting hard.
