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.

The second corner is cleared, but Bellegarde battles for possession out on the Wolves left and wins a free-kick. This is another chance for the hosts to load the box.

OVER! Bellegarde's corner finds Lemina at the back post, and he powers a header over via a deflection off Davies. Can the hosts make this spell of pressure count?

Bellegarde cuts it back to Ait-Nouri… who sees his right-footed shot blocked behind for a corner on the Wolves right.

We will play five minutes of added time before the break. Bellegarde stands over the free-kick as the referee has words with Dawson and Hojbjerg.

Dawson spreads the play out to Semedo, who has been Wolves' main attacking outlet. Emerson Royal clearly shoves his opposite full-back to the ground near the byline, but the referee neglects to award the free-kick. The crowd don't like that decision.

Tottenham are caught short at the back again and Cunha tries to sweep a pass out to Hwang, but Dier is there to head it away. A frustrated Cunha then fouls Sarr just inside the Wolves half.

Hwang is flagged offside as Kilman tries to send him clear, though it did look like Davies was playing him on. Wolves have gotten plenty of joy against this makeshift Spurs team, but they need to take advantage of this positive spell. Five to go until half-time.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur
Wolves have had six shots to Tottenham's one, despite only enjoying 38.5 per cent of the possession. It's been a familiar story for the ever-wasteful hosts, though, they have only hit the target with one of their attempts!

Save, but the flag is up! Gomes wins possession on the edge of the Spurs box before slipping a pass in behind for Ait-Nouri, who crashes a low shot against the legs of Vicario. The flag goes up against the Wolves man, and Cunha is saying he should have let it run through to him.
