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.

Now it's Wolves' turn for a full-back to go to ground, with Semedo down and looking in some discomfort.

Udogie is down and clutching at his hamstring. This will be a real concern for Spurs, especially considering their other injuries in defence to the likes of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero.

Wolves again nearly play themselves into trouble at the back, though Sa is able to hack clear just before Solanke gets to the ball.

That goal just before the break will be frustrating for Pereira, who watched his side edge in front before being pegged back just moments later. They looked solid for large periods of the opening 45 minutes, but Spurs finished the half strongly and are ahead going into the second half.

The half-time whistle blows with the hosts Tottenham 2-1 up over Wolves. It was the visitors who took the lead, a neatly worked set-piece routine teeing up Hwang to fire home from range. Spurs responded, however, levelling through Bentancur who ghosted in to nod Porro's corner into the back of the net. It looked like Spurs would take the lead with 43 minutes on the clock when they were awarded a penalty following a Gomes challenge on Johnson, however Son's spot-kick was well-saved by Sa. The Wolves goalkeeper had no chance though just moments later, Kulusevski setting up Johnson to lash Spurs into a 2-1 lead at the interval.
