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: Odegaard gives Arsenal the lead
Here’s how Martin Odegaard put Arsenal in front early on.
Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal
15 mins: Arsenal are looking irrepressible here. But that’s a mistake as Ben White loses the ball to Kieffer Moore, who shows a burst of pace to get some room down the right but White recovers and forces him out of play.
The Arsenal man looked uncomfortable at right-back during the Leicester game, so it will be interesting to see how he does here.
Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal
13mins: This is a disastrous start for Bournemouth. The match already looks beyond their grasp. Arsenal surge forward again and win the corner.
Saka whips it in from the right and Gabriel jumps highest but can’t direct his header on target. A long way wide in the end
GOAL! Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal - Odegaard 10'
10 mins: Bournemouth are pressing Arsenal hard, trying to compress the pitch but the Gunners look very composed on the ball.
And now it’s a second GOAL! Good work by Saka and White down the right, White squares the ball to Jesus, who takes a slightly heavy touch but Odegaard nips in front of him and fires home.
There’s a VAR check to see if White was offside but it’s ruled he wasn’t and it stands.
Bournemouth 0-1 Arsenal
7 mins: Really not the start Bournemouth needed - how can they respond? They give away a free-kick on the left which is whipped into the box by Odegaard. It’s in a good area but it’s headed away. Perfect start for Arsenal.
GOAL! Bournemouth 0-1 Arsenal - Odegaard 5'
5 mins: GOAL! And it’s absolutely brilliant by Arsenal.
Jesus brings the ball down superbly in the middle of the park and then rides two tackles, showing strength and balance, before slipping the ball into the box. A shot at goal is saved well by Travers but Odegaard is on hand to knock in the rebound. Superb.
Bournemouth 0-0 Arsenal
4 mins: White dinks a cross in from the right but it’s headed away well just before it went through to a trio of players queuing up at the back post. Then, at the other end, Kieffer Moore shows his strength as he harries the Gunners back-line but he’s a bit too physical and gives away the foul. An early indication of what the Cherries will try to do here though.
Bournemouth 0-0 Arsenal
2 mins: A couple of long early balls forward by Arsenal well dealt with by the Bournemouth back-line. Ben White then nearly gets himself in trouble at the back but he’s strong, holds off Pearson initially and then wins the foul.
Kick-off: Bournemouth 0-0 Arsenal
1 min: And we’re underway at the Vitality Stadium. Can Bournemouth cause a shock here?
