Report | Wolves 2-1 Tottenham

Tottenham

In an astonishing turn of events at Molineux, Wolves managed to stage an impressive comeback and defeat Tottenham Hotspur thanks to late goals from Pablo Sarabia and Mario Lemina during injury time.

The Old Gold team was close to losing the game after Brennan Johnson scored an early goal. However, during the second half of the game, Sarabia received a pass from Matheus Cunha and skillfully scored a goal near the post just in time before the game ended, allowing the team to tie the score and avoid defeat.

At the very end, the Spanish player became the assister by noticing Lemina's run towards the Tottenham's penalty area. Lemina swiftly executed the goal, placing the ball in the lower corner, consolidating Wolves' thrilling comeback.

The goal for the Wolves in their latest game was to bounce back from their loss over the weekend. However, they found themselves behind just three minutes into the game due to a missed switch of play by Toti. Dejan Kulusevski took advantage of an overlap by Pedro Porro and sent a low cross to Johnson, who easily scored after getting past Nelson Semedo.

The half wasn't dominated by that particular goal, as Wolves actually had possession of the ball more often. However, they were unable to score an equaliser despite both full-backs moving into positions that could have led to dangerous attacks. Rayan Ait-Nouri was able to shoot at Guglielmo Vicario's goal, but no goals were scored.

The goalkeeper of the Spurs team had to perform excellently right away. Cunha cleverly passed the ball to Lemina, who took a shot that required the goalkeeper to prevent the ball from going into the net by directing it to the corner. The midfielder, who scored a goal during his previous game at Molineux, then missed an opportunity to score by heading over a corner kick taken by Ait-Nouri.

Towards the end of the first half, Toti attempted a header that was easily saved by Vicario, marking the last effort by Wolves before the break. Moreover, Spurs' Ben Davies headed wide as the first half concluded.

The game between Wolves and Tottenham is at half-time, with Tottenham leading 1-0.

In the first half, it was noticeable that the hosts weren't playing with much energy, but they picked up their pace in the second half. However, they still couldn't score a goal early on. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde missed a shot shortly after the game resumed, and then Cunha didn't make the goal, despite Toti and Ait-Nouri's commendable efforts in the setup.

Opportunities presented themselves on several occasions to attacking players, yet the game remained without an equalizing goal. Hee Chan Hwang was included in these chances, but unfortunately could not convert, as he shot wide of the near post after a deflection off Joao Gomes.

Nevertheless, Wolves were not able to maintain their high level of performance when it was important. During a play where Cunha advanced with the ball and managed to pass it to Lemina who was running towards the opposite side of the field, the midfielder had the opportunity to assist Matt Doherty, who had just entered as a substitute, with an easy goal. However, the pass was not accurate enough and Doherty was not able to score. As a result, the opportunity was lost and the Spurs were able to get the ball back.

In the football match, a substitute named Sasa Kalajdzic had a significant opportunity. Gomes passed the ball to him, and he found himself in an open space. However, the Austrian did not make a successful header and directed it away from the goal. On the opposite side, Son Heung-min tried to score a goal, but his shot got blocked. Afterward, Giovani Lo Celso attempted to make a drive, but Jose Sa saved the ball by tipping it over the bar.

Instead, things were about to get moving on the opposite side of the field. Sarabia had been struggling to find chances, but when he was brought into the game, everything changed. Cunha spotted Sarabia's movement, and the Spanish player showcased an excellent touch to bring the ball under his control before driving it home at the near post, bringing the score to a tie.

At the end of the game, during the last minute of added time, he became a provider. Despite a lack of intensity for most of the game, Tommy Doyle exhibited exceptional focus by passing the ball out to Sarabia. Sarabia then waited for the perfect opportunity to pass the ball to Lemina, who remained calm and collected as he guided the ball into the bottom corner of the goal post, causing an eruption of excitement among the crowd at Molineux. This conclusion was nothing short of amazing.

In a match that went down at the full 90 minutes, Wolves managed to edge out Tottenham with a 2-1 victory.
