Tottenham vs Wolves LIVE: Premier League result and final score
Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Struggling Tottenham Hotspur had to settle for a 2-2 home draw against a revived Wolverhampton Wanderers side after a late strike by Norwegian substitute Jorgen Strand Larsen in an entertaining Premier League clash on Sunday.
Wolves had taken the lead after seven minutes through Hwang Hee-Chan who fired a low shot that went in off the post after a short free kick, but Spurs equalised five minutes later when Rodrigo Bentancur’s header beat keeper Jose Sa from a corner.
Tottenham spurned the chance to go in front before halftime when Son Heung-Min’s spot kick was saved but they did go in ahead after Brennan Johnson struck from close range. The second half was end-to-end with Strand Larsen scoring in the 87th minute.
The result left Spurs languishing in 11th with 24 points from 19 games - the first time they will finish the year lower than seventh since the 2008-09 season. Wolves are 17th on 16 points and stand two points above the relegation zone.

The full-time whistle blows as Wolves celebrate a hard-fought point after a 2-2 draw away at Tottenham. It was Pereira's new charges who took the lead after just seven minutes, Hwang curling home from range after a free-kick routine. Spurs hit back, though, levelling through Bentancur as he nodded Porro's corner into the back of the net. Son then missed a penalty after Andre felled Johnson, but the hosts would take the lead in first-half added time, Johnson finishing after Kulusevski's pass. It appeared Spurs would hold on for the three points, but just three minutes from time, Strand Larsen smashed into the roof of the net from Ait-Nouri's clever assist to earn Wolves a point on the road, one that leaves them two points above the bottom three, while Spurs remain in the bottom half, in 11th on 24 points from 19 games. Pereira's side will host surprise packages Nottingham Forest up next on New Year's Day, while Spurs' next game comes on January 4 when they welcome Newcastle United. It's another frustrating result for Postecoglou, especially considering his side accumulated 1.9 xG (expected goals) to Wolves' 0.6. That's all we have for you from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, so thanks for your company and goodbye!

Strand Larsen will try and battle on for these remaining minutes. Quite how much he'll be able to do to help his side preserve their point remains to be seen.

The goalscorer Strand Larsen is down with a knock and Wolves have no substitutes left. This could be a nervy last couple of minutes for the visitors if they have to finish this game with 10 men.

Kulusevski picks out Sarr with a cross, but the midfielder has to reach back for his header a touch and can only nod wide of the right post.

CLOSE! From the resulting corner, Doherty heads down into the ground towards the bottom corner against his former side. However, Forster is alert to race to his left and parry clear. It's all Wolves now in a dramatic turn of events!
