Tottenham Held By Wolves
Jorgen Strand Larsen’s late equaliser continued Vitor Pereira’s impressive start as Wolves boss after a chaotic Premier League draw with Tottenham.
Wolves took an early lead when the unmarked Hwang Hee-chan swept the ball low into the corner from the edge of the box after the Spurs defence had switched off at a free-kick.
Spurs equalised shortly afterwards thanks to Rodrigo Bentancur, who glanced a powerful close-range header beyond Jose Sa from Pedro Porro’s corner.
Tottenham were awarded a penalty when Andre brought down the fleet-footed Brennan Johnson only for Sa to guess correctly and deny Son Heung-min
It did not stymie Spurs’ attacking intent and a neat interchange between Dejan Kulusevski and Johnson inside a crowded area culminated in the latter firing home a low shot.
Tottenham had chances to increase their lead in the second half but failed to take them.
Dominic Solanke was unable to get on the end of a Timo Werner cross into the six-yard box while Kulusevski perhaps should have done better when he broke clear.
Wolves were content to hang in the contest and levelled with three minutes of normal time remaining when substitute Strand Larsen beat Fraser Forster at his near post with a rasping angled shot.
Spurs piled on the pressure during 11 minutes of added time but were unable to contrive a winner and finish December with just five points from a possible 21.
