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.

Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal
34 mins: Bournemouth’s attacking players have only had scraps to work with so far. Tavernier does well to close down Saliba on the left and block the clearance but it’s harmlessly out for a goal kick.
Patient build-up on the right from Arsenal, White gets some room to cross but his floated ball is safely plucked out of the air by Travers at the back post. The Gunners playing at a different level to their hosts at the moment.

30 mins: Neat interplay by Arsenal and Odegaard looks for an onrushing Saka but it’s cut out. Saka then nips past a defender and tries to play in Martinelli on the edge of the box but a desperate Cherries defence scramble the ball clear. Good work by Tavernier to then win the throw-in when surrounded by three Arsenal players deep in his own territory. Bournemouth breathe again.

28 mins: Odegaard whips it left-footed to the back post where Xhaka slides and gets a foot to the ball but can’t direct it back into the danger area and it trickles out for a goal-kick.
Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal
27 mins: 73 per cent possession for Arsenal so far and six shots on goal compared to Bournemouth’s zero. It’s been one-way traffic so far.
Saka spins Zemura and the Cherries man slides in from behind and fouls him. Free-kick, just right of centre, about 35 yards out. Zemura booked for his troubles.

25 mins: Saka given a ball to chase in the right channel but he’s too physical when he barges Lloyd Kelly to the ground in pursuit of the ball to give Bournemouth a free-kick that enables them to clear their lines. Every time the Cherries get their foot on the ball, the Arsenal press is there to win it back - very impressive so far by the visitors.

22 mins: Martinelli’s corner is well defended initially by Bournemouth but Martinelli then beats Senesi with a neat burst of pace to get to the by-line and wins another corner.
It causes panic in the Bournemouth box but after a couple of attempts, they scramble clear. The quality of corners has been good so far from the Gunners.

21 mins: Moore all over the back of Odegaard, harrying him and manages to slide round and win the ball. It stays in play and he completes the pass infield. That livens the crowd up but it’s been slim pickings for things that they can cheer so far.
Mepham then goes through the back of Jesus to give away a free-kick, which turns into a corner for Arsenal.

19 mins: White finds Saka with a long ball down the right channel. Saka holds it up and lays it back to White, whose cross is just a shade too long and goes out for a goal-kick. It was a good area, just a bit unlucky.
Bournemouth then try to build an attack of their own as Moore holds the ball up well but the Gunners are disciplined defensively and force the hosts to go backwards, which snuffs out any danger
