Tottenham v Wolves LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Harry Kane heads Spurs to win
Tottenham 1-0 Wolves: Spurs vs Wolves reaction after hosts go top of the Premier League table
Harry Kane created Premier League history as his goal gave Tottenham a 1-0 win over Wolves. The England captain headed home in the second half to score for the 185th time in the Premier League – the most a player has scored for one club.
It took him above Sergio Aguero to fourth in the all-time list of scorers and it was his 250th in all competitions for Spurs, with Jimmy Greaves’ record of 266 surely under threat this season.
His goal, which was also Tottenham’s 1,000th at home in the Premier League, earned Spurs the win which extends their unbeaten start to the season.
Kane and partner in crime Son Heung-min both hit the woodwork in a much-improved second-half display. Wolves will perhaps feel hard done by as they were the better team in the opening 45 minutes with new record signing Matheus Nunes missing their best opportunity in the first half. Defeat leaves Bruno Lage’s side with just one point from their opening three games as they begin the season slowly again.

WATCH: Saliba stunner makes it 3-0
William Saliba brilliantly found the top corner to make it 3-0. And Zinchenko’s reaction sums up how most people felt, I think.
Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal
64 mins: Arsenal playing the ball around with freedom here. Martinelli decides to have a go as he cuts in on his right foot about 25 yards out but his curling shot as he falls over is well, well over the bar.
Philip Billing is limping for Bournemouth and he might come off here. Yep, he trudges to the sideline and Ryan Christie enters the fray in his place.
Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal
61 mins: Will Scott Parker make any more changes? Another throw-in gives Bournemouth a platform but the ball is nicked away as they get into the area and Arsenal counter through Martinelli. Good covering defending though.
Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal
57 mins: CHANCE! Martinelli makes a bit of a mess of it. Good interplay in midfield, Saka slips through Martinelli who takes it slightly wide and his shot flies into the stands.
Xhaka was unmarked on his left if he could have found him.
Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal
55 mins: Bournemouth has been the better side in this second half but that was brilliant by Saliba and an absolute gut-punch. Surely no way back now.
The Cherries do win a corner and Tavernier whips it in left-footed. WOW! It almost goes straight in but Gabriel scrambles across and heads it off the line. CLOSE!
GOAL! Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal - Saliba 53’
53 mins: GOAL! What a finish by Saliba!
Martinelli’s cross from the right is too long but goes through to Xhaka, who lays it back for Saliba on the edge of the area and he curls a GORGEOUS left-footed strike into the top right corner. Sublime
Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal
52 mins: Gabriel Jesus goes into the referee’s notebook for a foul on halfway. He’s not happy but out comes the yellow card. Bournemouth have had the better of this second half.
Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal
51 mins: Nice turn by Jefferson Lerma on halfway and he finds Adam Smith on the right. Gabriel nods away his cross but the Cherries come again and win another throw-in for Kelly to launch goalwards. It’s all very Stoke in 2012...
Almost disaster for Arsenal! Mepham’s flick on from the throw is claimed by Ramsdale but he completely shanks his clearance kick with Anthony in the vicinity, it falls to Lerma on the edge of the box but his shot flies over the bar. Ramsdale livid, claiming he was impeded, but he wasn’t. Anthony just standing nearby.
Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal
49 mins: Another attacking throw for Bournemouth that Lloyd Kelly launches into the box. It comes back out to him and it’s a teasing, hanging cross to the back post that Ramsdale claims. Small signs of positivity for the hosts at the start of this second period.
Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal
47 mins: Better from Bournemouth immediately. Probably the first time they’ve been in the Arsenal box. An attacking throw-in is held up by Kieffer Moore, who turns his man and puts a ball across the box but it’s safely cleared.
Something to build on though?
