Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho dismissed on Wednesday suggestions that his side's late collapse against West Ham United at the weekend was another example of the club's so-called "Spursy" habit of capitulating when success is near.
Spurs missed a chance to move up to third in the Premier League table on Sunday when they threw away a 3-0 lead, with West Ham midfielder Manuel Lanzini's goal denying them victory with the last kick of the game.
Speaking at a news conference ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash against Austria's LASK Linz , Mourinho said Tottenham's implosion against West Ham was an anomaly in an otherwise impressive campaign.
Spurs also let in a last-ditch equaliser against Newcastle last month, but that was due to a penalty for a harsh handball.
Mourinho is aiming to win the Europa League for the third time with a third club having also claimed the title while in charge of Porto and Manchester United.
