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.

Semedo receives just about the most obvious booking you'll see as he cynically wipes out Solanke, who was on the charge and driving towards Wolves' backline.

THE PENALTY IS SAVED!!! IT REMAINS 1-1!!! The Spurs captain Son steps up before firing his spot-kick towards the bottom left corner. Sa guesses right, however, and gets down well to his right to beat away the penalty, preserving Wolves' status as level in this game!

PENALTY TO SPURS!!! The hosts hit Wolves on the counter, and after Kulusevski slides the ball in for Johnson, a clumsy challenge from Andre sends the winger tumbling, before referee Chris Kavanagh points to the spot. What a chance this is for Spurs to get their noses in front right before the break!

As we close in on half-time, the only shots on target have been the two goals. Both sides have defended pretty well, which hasn't always been the case this campaign.

The ball falls kindly for Bissouma to strike from outside the box, though his effort is always rising and soars over the crossbar.

This time, Wolves deal with a corner better, though Son's delivery wasn't exactly the most inviting as it was comfortably cleared at the near post.
