Another upset was recorded at the New Tottenham Stadium when Wolves settled for a 1-1 draw with Spurs on Saturday evening, Softfootball reports.
After Chelsea were stunned at home by Brighton 3-1, Wolves were almost close to causing similar chaos for Tottenham.
It ended in late drama as Joao Palhinha’s stoppage-time strike rescued a point for Spurs in a 1-1 draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
For Wolves, it was a bittersweet evening, as Santiago Bueno’s second-half opener had seemed destined to secure their first league victory of the season before Palhinha’s last-gasp equaliser denied them.
The match began with Tottenham on the front foot, dominating possession and creating clearer chances. Their first major opportunity arrived when Mohammed Kudus, who got another start under Thomas Frank, rose at the far post to head towards goal, his effort clipping the bar. Replays, however, revealed the intervention of Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, whose fingertips produced an outstanding save. Kudus remained lively, and midway through the first half, he combined neatly with Lucas Bergvall before firing into the net. The celebration was short-lived, as the assistant referee flagged for offside, leaving Spurs frustrated.
Despite Tottenham’s attacking pressure, Wolves posed a reminder of their threat just before the interval. With the first half nearing its conclusion, Matt Doherty came agonisingly close to giving the visitors the lead when his effort from a tight angle brushed the woodwork.
The second half brought a different complexion to the game. Wolves, encouraged by their resilience, began to ask questions of Tottenham’s defence. Their breakthrough came in the 54th minute when Santiago Bueno found the net to stun the home crowd.
Wolves shared the news on their official X handle.
However, as Wolves seemed set to celebrate a vital first victory of the campaign, heartbreak struck in stoppage time. In the 94th minute, Joao Palhinha, stationed at the edge of the box, produced a fine finish to draw Spurs level.
Tottenham will now focus on their next Champions League match against Bodo/Glimt next Tuesday.
What a dramatic finish! 😂 Wolves looked set to crash the party, only for Palhinha to pop up like a surprise party guest with the equalizer. #SpursWOL indeed, if only for a minute! Kudus showing his mettle, but Johnstone was the real hero with that save. Good fun though, until the final whistle brought the party to a halt!
