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.

Wolves need to improve their set-piece deliveries, with Bellegarde seeing another corner-kick headed away inside the Spurs six-yard box. The hosts have possession back in their own territory, however, and can attempt to come again.

This is better from Wolves. Vicario claims the second ball from Bellegarde's set-piece, but Gomes intercepts his quick throw out to maintain the pressure. Johnson tries to shield the ball out for a goal-kick, but it comes off him and dribbles behind for another Wolves corner.

SAVE! Semedo cuts inside to find Cunha on the break, and the Brazilian offloads to Lemina to his right. The midfielder looks for the bottom-left corner after breaking into the box, and Vicario has to get down to tip it wide! That's as close as Wolves have come.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur
There's a coming-together involving Hwang and Johnson on the Wolves right. Johnson nudged the South Korean, who then appeared to have a slight kick out at the Spurs man. There's very little in it, however, and the referee opts to give both men a talking-to, keeping his cards in his pocket.

We're past the half-hour mark now, and the pace of this game has slowed somewhat. Johnson gets down the left-hand side for Spurs before looking for Son with his low centre, but it's too close to Sa in the Wolves goal.

Hojbjerg goes down under Ait-Nouri's challenge just to the right side of the Wolves area. The referee awards a goal-kick to Wolves, rather than a free-kick to Spurs, despite the midfielder looking like he was clipped.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur
Hwang has been involved in eight Premier League goals this season (six goals, two assists), his best return in a single campaign in the competition. He has either scored or assisted in each of his last five Premier League games, with only Henri Camara having a longer such run for Wolves in the competition (seven between March and May 2004).
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur
Hwang shows some excellent hold-up play before finding Ait-Nouri, whose poor cross drifts all the way over Vicario for a goal-kick. The South Korean has scored in every Premier League game Wolves have played at Molineux this season, but he's yet to have a sight of goal here.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur
Ait-Nouri cheekily slips the ball between Porro's legs before being felled by the right-back's late lunge. The home fans want a booking, but the referee neglects to hand out any further punishment.
