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.

Martin Odegaard at the double as Arsenal top table with victory at Bournemouth
Arsenal coasted to victory at Bournemouth as captain Martin Odegaard’s early brace took the visitors to the top of the Premier League.
The Gunners kept up their perfect start to the new campaign, their 3-0 win at the Vitality Stadium sealed with a fine William Saliba strike as the defender opened his account for the club.
Odegaard had put Arsenal clear inside the opening 11 minutes, the first time the Norway international has scored twice in a match since a double for Stromsgodset in October 2014.
At this stage of last season, Mikel Arteta was facing calls to be axed as Arsenal boss as they sat bottom without a point or a goal. The summer signing of Gabriel Jesus has done much to herald such a stark turnaround in fortunes and, while he did not add to his goal tally on the south coast, the Brazil forward was again instrumental.

Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal
FULL-TIME! Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal
And it’s all over. A convincing win for Arsenal in the end. Two first-half goals from Odegaard and Saliba’s second-half stunner proved enough. Bournemouth improved in the second half but were outclassed here.
Arsenal go top of the Premier League table with nine points from nine. All very different from last season when they lost their first three games and Mikel Arteta was on the hottest of hot seats...
Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal
90+2 mins: Dying moments of this game - a convincing win for Arsenal. Both teams just seeing things out now.
Bournemouth try to build something and Smith puts in a cross from deep on the right. Moore gets above his marker and heads goalwards but Ramsdale down to save.

90 mins: SAVE! Nketiah in on goal after Smith Rowe’s pass and he tries to find the far corner but Travers gets down well and pushes the ball away. Good save to keep it at three goals.
Four minutes of added time

88 mins: Another couple of Arsenal subs as Kieran Tierney and Albert Sambi Lokonga come on for Saka and Xhaka. Tierney playing in quite an attack role it seems
Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal
87 mins: SAVE! Maybe it won’t be Gabriel Jesus’s day in front of goal? Smith Row slips the Brazilian in and he strikes a shot from the right of the goal but Travers saves sharply and the rebound goes wide. He may have just been offside though.

85 mins: Smith Rowe on ‘draft excluder’ duty lying behind the wall to block the low one... Tavernier goes for a curler round the outside of the wall with his left foot but it’s into the side netting. Ramsdale was across sharply anyway
Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal
84 mins: Free-kick in a dangerous position for the hosts as Christie again involved, drawing the foul from Thomas Partey. To the left of the D, about 20-25 yards out...
Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal
83 mins: You could argue that Bournemouth deserve a goal for the second-half effort they’ve given but I’m sure Arsenal won’t be feeling particularly charitable.
The Cherries are certainly being afforded more of the ball now and Christie skips past his man down the left flank before the ball is spread right. Zemura then darts into the box after hold-up play by Moore but his attempted low cross rolls safely to Ramsdale.
