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.

Solanke has been involved in seven goals in his last six home games in all competitions for Tottenham, scoring six and assisting one. He's running out of time to score in four consecutive home appearances for the first time since October 2021 (six with Bournemouth).

A big opportunity to make it 3-1 goes begging for Spurs as Kulusevski sees a shot blocked. Solanke slides him in as Sa races out of his goal, and the Sweden international manages to nip it past the Wolves goalkeeper. His touch takes him wide, though, and his eventual goalbound effort is blocked by the covering Bueno.

Pereira rolls the dice for the last time, making another pair of substitutions. Forbs comes on for Hwang, whose goal to put Wolves in the lead feels a lifetime ago now.

Spurs are inches away from a crucial third goal, with Werner beating his man before sliding a low delivery across the face of goal. Solanke is there, but he just cannot quite stretch far enough to get his toe to the ball and turn home.

Fifteen minutes left, and Wolves are hardly hammering the Spurs door down in their pursuit of an equaliser. Pereira will want more from his side.

No team has lost more Premier League games since the start of December than Tottenham (four). It’s their most league defeats in a calendar month since December 2003 (also four), while they last lost five league games in a single month in October 1955. They look on course to avoid matching that unwanted feat here, though.
