Match Reports

Raul Jimenez scored the winner as Wolves twice came from behind to record a superb 3-2 victory at Tottenham that boosted their challenge to finish in the Premier League top four.

After a stirring performance on Sunday, Wolves moved above Tottenham into sixth and now sit just three points behind Chelsea in fourth spot. 

Spurs were leading at the break after Serge Aurier scored his first league goal for three years in the last minute of the half, Matt Doherty having cancelled out Steven Bergwijn's opener.

But Diogo Jota scored his sixth goal in three games to get Wolves level before he impressively set up Jimenez to decide the contest with 17 minutes remaining.

Match Events

13' GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Wolves (Bergwijn)

Aurier crosses from the right as Spurs throw men forward, although Lucas cannot make contact in the centre. The ball instead arrives for Alli. Patricio does well to block a low finish, but Bergwijn is on hand to prod the rebound into a gaping goal.

19' NICE TRY! Sanchez's shot wide out

Lucas wins a corner on the right, and it is cleared only as far as Aurier. He sweeps a pass into the feet of Sanchez, who tees up a volley with his first touch, then hooking the ball over his shoulder. It drops over the crossbar from 20 yards but not by much.

22' CHANCE! Jota's shot wide out

Traore again gets into a good area but overhits his cross. However, the ball skids through the area to Jota, who blazes over the crossbar. He should really do better.

27' GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Wolves (Doherty)

Vinagre gets free on the left after a one-two with Jota and crosses low. The ball is straight at Tanganga, but the defender fails to adjust and simply knocks the ball straight into the path of Doherty in the six-yard box. The Ireland international slams in.

45' GOAL! Tottenham 2-1 Wolves (Aurier)

Aurier has been one of Tottenham's better players, and he dances inside from the right and slams a left-footed finish past the rooted Patricio into the far corner. A huge lift for Spurs on the stroke of half-time.

57' GOAL! Tottenham 2-2 Wolves (Jota)

Tottenham are made to pay for the Alli miss! Doherty gets in on the right for Wolves and his low cross-cum-shot is only diverted into Jota's path by Gazzaniga. He cannot miss from a yard out.

73' GOAL! Tottenham 2-2 Wolves (Jota)

Wolves break and they are ever so effective. Jimenez collects the ball on the right corner of the area, sits down Tanganga with a lovely dummy, and finishes high past Gazzaniga. What a turnaround!
