Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
The full-time whistle sounds, and Wolves hold on for a massive win over top-four chasing Tottenham! Gomes is the hero for O'Neil's men, netting either side of half-time in yet another upset of one of the Premier League's elite clubs! Gomes was left totally unmarked for his first goal, a close-range header shortly before half-time, but Tottenham looked the more likely winners when Kulusevski levelled immediately after the restart. However, Wolves continued to threaten on the break, and Gomes got his second when he crashed home following a brilliant run and pass from the electric Neto. Tottenham dominated possession from there, but Davies missed their best chance in stoppage time as the likes of Semedo and Toti produced colossal defensive performances. The win takes Wolves up to 35 points, two points off the top seven, while Tottenham slip to fifth following Aston Villa's 2-1 win at Fulham. That's all from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, so thank you for your company and goodbye!

FULL-TIME: TOTTENHAM 1-2 WOLVES.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
HUGE CHANCE! Kulusevski teases a brilliant cross into the six-yard box, where Davies makes a run across his marker to meet it. He simply has to level the game, but he sends an awkward header spinning comfortably wide of the right-hand post. What a let-off that is!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
DANGER! Werner plays a give-and-go with Son and tries to find space for a shot in a crowded penalty area. His strike hits Dawson and finds its way back to Sa, and the home fans scream for handball, but it's more in hope than expectation. Nothing doing!

Half a chance! Ait-Nouri fouls Johnson to grant Tottenham a free-kick on the right wing. Kulusevski's deep cross finds Van de Ven… but his glancing header is straight at Sa!

Over! Bellegarde latches onto a loose Tottenham pass and advances to the halfway line before threading a pass through for Neto on his left. The winger gets to the edge of the box before shooting, but he sends a tired effort spinning into the stands behind the goal.

Wolves aren't happy as Tottenham play on despite Hwang being down with a head injury, but Kilman puts his foot through a clearance and the visitors will make a change of their own now.
