Danger! Maddison's corner is headed away by the towering Dawson, but it goes straight back to Maddison and he wins another set-piece off Kilman. Sa goes down as the next corner is delivered onto the edge of the six-yard box, but Wolves eventually scramble it clear. This is much better from Spurs after a difficult period.

Maddison's cross is only half cleared as Tottenham pack the box, and Richarlison nearly gets onto the second delivery into the area, with Dawson edging him out to put it behind for a corner.

Sarr gets up on the underlap to receive Kulusevski's pass, and Toti steps in to trip him right before he can reach the penalty area. Maddison is stood over this free-kick, which will come from a crossing position on the right.

Wolves are getting so much space on the counterattack, but they're not making the most of it! Gomes surges through midfield and has both Neto and Hwang breaking ahead of him, but his pass towards the former is too powerful and runs out of play.

Tottenham have scored in 36 successive Premier League matches. Only Arsenal, who netted in 55 straight between May 2001 and November 2002, have ever enjoyed a longer run in the competition, though the last team to shut Spurs out in the top flight was Wolves last March, winning 1-0 under Julen Lopetegui at Molineux. They're moving the ball patiently now, with Wolves sitting back in their 3-4-3 shape.

Wolves break again and Ait-Nouri fires a pass up the sideline for Hwang to chase. Neto is with the South Korean, but Van de Ven uses his recovery pace to snuff out the danger. Wolves win the ball back and come again, but Neto can't direct his header towards goal from Sarabia's cross.

Close! What a cross that is from Son! He whips a teasing, left-footed delivery right across the face of goal, but neither Richarlison nor Kulusevski is attacking it and Toti can make the late decision to let it run. It only needed a touch!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves play on with 10 men as the play resumes, with Lemina forced to spend a few moments on the sidelines before being beckoned back onto the pitch by referee Anthony Taylor. He looks fine to continue.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Lemina is back on his feet now, which is a positive sight for Wolves. He has been absolutely crucial in the heart of O'Neil's two-man midfield this season.
