Nuno says beating Mourinho is 'nothing special' as Wolves fight back against Tottenham

Nuno Espirito Santo said that beating former manager Jose Mourinho was not a big deal after his Wolves side came from behind to defeat Spurs 3-2 , bypassing them into sixth place in the process.

Nuno was a reserve goalkeeper under Mourinho at Porto when the Portuguese club won the Champions League in 2004.

Sunday’s result, combined with other games over the Premier League weekend, increase Wolves’ chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League and Nuno insisted that the win in a hard-fought game was more meaningful than beating a former mentor.
