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.

Gomes finds Hwang running in behind with a lovely throughball. The South Korean is forced wide but holds it up for Bellegarde, who just overdoes it by offloading to Cunha. The hosts eventually win a corner on their left-hand side, however.

Postecoglou hasn't lost consecutive league games as a manager since he was with Yokohama F. Marinos in the Japanese J1 League, losing three in a row in that competition between November 2020 and February 2021. His team made a flying start to their bid to get back to winning ways.
