JOSE MOURINHO completed game number 10 as manager of Spurs with his first draw.
And while this was the latest proof that Tottenham have become more of a threat under the new boss, the defence is certainly no better.

Once again, it was shambolic here at Carrow Road and incredibly, Tottenham have conceded 17 goals since Mourinho took over and there has been just one clean sheet – the 5-0 win over Burnley.
On current form, you have to wonder when the next shut-out will come.
Spurs deserved a draw at Carrow Road but they were fortunate to still be in the game at half-time as Teemu Pukki had a strike ruled out because his shoulder was offside.
But for Mourinho the problems remain even though his team have now scored 23 times since he took over from Mauricio Pochettino.
The experiment of a five-man defence was a complete disaster and it was no surprise that Juan Foyth and Jan Vertonghen were replaced at the break for Davinson Sanchez and Lucas Moura with Mourinho switching to a back four.
Foyth, in particular, suffered a horror show and he was continually bullied by Norwich winger Onel Hernandez.
In the second half, even though Spurs looked a lot more secure at the back, they still managed to deliver a comical own goal with Toby Alderweireld tackling Pukki only to see the ball come off Serge Aurier and past Paulo Gazzaniga.

Harry Kane, after making the most of a challenge from Christoph Zimmermann, levelled from the penalty spot but Spurs did not deserve more than a point.
Mourinho feels his team are good enough to finish in the top four and of course, he is probably right.
Equally, unless he sorts out the defence, Spurs will continue to leak goals and they will be lucky to land a Europa League spot.
