Follow live coverage as Tottenham face Wolves today in the Premier League.
It’s been another inconsistent season for Spurs, who have followed up a three-game unbeaten run in all competitions with back-to-back Premier League defeats, losing 6-3 at home to Liverpool before being beaten 1-0 at Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day. They remain in the bottom half of the division, though a victory here could take them 10th depending on other results.
Wolves have enjoyed a ‘new manager bounce’ since Gary O’Neil’s sacking and Vitor Pereira’s arrival, taking maximum points from their new boss’ opening two games with a thumping 3-0 victory at Leicester City before a 2-0 triumph over Manchester United last time out. Those wins lifted them out of the relegation zone, though they remain just a point above the bottom three.

That goal just before the break will be frustrating for Pereira, who watched his side edge in front before being pegged back just moments later. They looked solid for large periods of the opening 45 minutes, but Spurs finished the half strongly and are ahead going into the second half.

The half-time whistle blows with the hosts Tottenham 2-1 up over Wolves. It was the visitors who took the lead, a neatly worked set-piece routine teeing up Hwang to fire home from range. Spurs responded, however, levelling through Bentancur who ghosted in to nod Porro’s corner into the back of the net. It looked like Spurs would take the lead with 43 minutes on the clock when they were awarded a penalty following a Gomes challenge on Johnson, however Son’s spot-kick was well-saved by Sa. The Wolves goalkeeper had no chance though just moments later, Kulusevski setting up Johnson to lash Spurs into a 2-1 lead at the interval.

Semedo receives just about the most obvious booking you’ll see as he cynically wipes out Solanke, who was on the charge and driving towards Wolves’ backline.

THE PENALTY IS SAVED!!! IT REMAINS 1-1!!! The Spurs captain Son steps up before firing his spot-kick towards the bottom left corner. Sa guesses right, however, and gets down well to his right to beat away the penalty, preserving Wolves’ status as level in this game!

PENALTY TO SPURS!!! The hosts hit Wolves on the counter, and after Kulusevski slides the ball in for Johnson, a clumsy challenge from Andre sends the winger tumbling, before referee Chris Kavanagh points to the spot. What a chance this is for Spurs to get their noses in front right before the break!
