The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
Wolverhampton Wanderers produced a late turnaround to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in the early kick-off. Pedro Porro set up Brennan Johnson to tap in from close range just two minutes in and despite the hosts having a shed-load of chances, their wastefulness looked set to see Spurs take the points.
However, Pablo Sarabia whacked in a 90th-minute equaliser, before Mario Lemina slid in a winner six minutes later to send the Molineux fans wild and hand Spurs a second successive league defeat.
Follow the latest reaction from the Premier League below and see the Premier League odds here.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur
Bellegarde sends an absolutely abysmal free-kick behind for a goal-kick. Wolves have really let Spurs off from set-piece situations here. They have 20 minutes plus stoppage time to fight back.

Cunha drops deep to receive possession before driving into Spurs territory, being felled by Bissouma's lunging challenge. The midfielder – who was sent off at Luton Town recently – has already been booked and needs to be careful.

Hojbjerg wins a corner on the right-hand side for Spurs as they manage a rare foray forward. Porro's first delivery is headed out by Ait-Nouri, and his second cross is blocked ahead of the six-yard box.

Cunha has caused Spurs all sorts of problems here, but his decision-making can leave a lot to be desired. Wolves recover the ball from a quick Spurs free-kick and Cunha shoots from inside his own half, sending a poor effort drifting away to the right of goal.

Doherty replaces Semedo in a straight swap at right-back for Wolves.

Both of these teams are missing their main creators for this one. Only Newcastle United's Kieran Trippier (32) has created more chances than Spurs star Maddison (31) in the Premier League this season, while no player has matched Neto's seven assists for Wolves. The hosts have definitely missed their star winger here.

Former Tottenham defender Doherty looks set to enter the action for Wolves, who are looking to keep the tempo up as they continue to dominate this second half.

Cunha wins yet another corner on the left-hand side, and this one is taken short to the Brazilian. He finds an angle to cross, but it just evades Kilman at the back and drifts behind. Postecoglou has seen enough, and Spurs are about to introduce Bentancur.

GREAT DEFENDING! Bellegarde whips an enticing cross into the six-yard box, where Dawson looks destined to nod it home. However, Sarr flicks the ball away with a great defensive header and Spurs also manage to deal with the resulting corner.
