Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
There's a concern for Wolves here, with Lemina down after an aerial duel with Richarlison, who nudged him in the back. The midfielder receives treatment near the edge of his own box as O'Neil takes the chance to pass on some tactical instructions.

Save! It's another dangerous break from Wolves! Neto gets his head up on the left and finds Sarabia on the edge of the box with an outswinging cross. The Spaniard just fails to find space for a shot so tees up Ait-Nouri, who cuts onto his right foot before bending an effort towards the bottom-right corner. It lacks the power to beat Vicario, though, and he drops to his left to hold it.

OVER! Spurs work it patiently from left to right, and Kulusevski's dinked cross is headed out by Semedo. It only reaches Davies on the edge of the box, and the stand-in left-back sends a powerful volley spiralling over Sa's crossbar. Unlucky!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Tottenham have found it tough against Wolves lately, losing three of their last four Premier League games against them, including their dramatic defeat in the reverse fixture. The visitors are enjoying a positive spell here.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
There were questions as to how Wolves would line up in Cunha's absence, and Neto has started this game out on the left. Sarabia is drifting infield from the other side, with Hwang leading the line. Sarabia looks for Neto with an ambitious ball in behind, but Vicario gets out to claim it.

Wolves have succeeded in slowing the pace of the game since Dawson's head injury, which came after a blistering start from Tottenham. They get another chance to break as Sarabia releases Semedo on the overlap, but his cross is far too heavy for Neto at the back post.

Hwang already has 10 Premier League goals this season, two more than he managed in his two previous campaigns combined (five in 2021-22, three in 2022-23). He should have got his 11th there.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
MASSIVE CHANCE FOR WOLVES! How is it not 1-0?! Wolves press high and Lemina recovers possession in a good area, with Sarabia eventually finding Semedo in space on the right side of the box. His powerful strike is pushed out by Vicario, then Hwang somehow blazes over on the follow-up from six yards out. The flag stayed down, and he should have scored!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Save! Wolves get their first chance to break as Hwang helps the ball right to Sarabia. The Spaniard cuts inside to shoot from 25 yards out, but it's comfortably claimed by Vicario.
