Match Report
Jan Vertonghen's late header earned Tottenham a 2-1 win at Wolves that moves Jose Mourinho's side within three points of the Premier League's top four.
Spurs seemed set to be held to a 1-1 draw at a wet Molineux after an early Lucas Moura strike was cancelled out by Adama Traore's drive midway through the second half.
But in the first minute of added time, Vertonghen stooped to direct Christian Eriksen's right-wing corner past Rui Patricio to seal a fourth win in five league games for Mourinho.
Match Events
8' GOAL! Wolves 0-1 Tottenham (Lucas)
Moments after Patricio denies Son, he can do nothing to prevent Lucas scoring. Receiving the ball from Dier, the Brazilian evades a couple of challenges and advances into the area, before unleashing a thumping shot into the roof of the net.
15' CHANCE! Traore's shot saved
Wolves look to respond and after being fed by Moutinho, Traore cuts inside from the right wing before getting a shot away. However, his drilled effort goes straight into the arms of Gazzaniga.
37' OFF THE POST! Dier nearly scores
Dier is whiskers away from doubling the lead. The holding midfielder is the furthest man forward for Spurs after latching onto a neat return pass from Alli. However, the woodwork denies him.
58' CLOSE! Alli's shot wide out
Alli cuts inside and gets his shot away from the edge of the area. However, there is not quite enough bend on his effort that goes wide of the post.
67' GOAL! Wolves 1-1 Tottenham (Traore)
Wolves are level as Traore unleashes a powerful 20-yard strike that leaves Gazzaniga clutching at thin air. Jimenez retained possession before feeding Traore, who brings this match level.
90' GOAL! Wolves 1-2 Tottenham (Vertonghen)
The defender is left completely unmarked to meet Eriksen's corner, and plant his header firmly beyond the reach of Patricio.
