Wolves staged a remarkable comeback in a stunning late show, shaking Tottenham and denying them the opportunity to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League.
Pablo Sarabia and Mario Lemina scored in stoppage time to secure a thrilling 2-1 victory for the hosts. Brennan Johnson had given Spurs the lead with an early strike, marking his first goal for the club.
Tottenham looked set for an unexpected win until Sarabia and Lemina orchestrated a sensational finish. Despite Wolves constantly pressuring and letting Spurs off the hook, the visitors were on course for a win until the late drama unfolded.
Tottenham, previously undefeated under Ange Postecoglou, suffered successive defeats, denting their bid for the league summit. Wolves, rebounding from a controversial loss at Sheffield United, showcased their progress under Gary O’Neil.
Spurs, facing challenges with injuries and suspensions, initially took the lead through Johnson but failed to capitalize on their advantage. The hosts responded well, with Ait-Nouri and Gomes causing trouble for the Spurs’ defence.
However, Wolves struggled to find the finishing touch, allowing Tottenham to survive. After the break, Wolves continued their combative play, creating chances but failing to convert. Hwang Hee-Chan missed a golden opportunity, scuffing a shot wide with only the goalkeeper to beat. Both teams lacked a killer touch in the absence of key players.
As time ticked away, the Wolves’ desperation grew, leading to spaces in their defence. Tottenham failed to capitalize on the counter-attacks, and Johnson curled a shot wide after a rare break. With Wolves seemingly running out of ideas, the game took an unexpected turn in stoppage time.
Sarabia, a substitute on the pitch for just two minutes, equalized with a powerful strike past the goalkeeper. Then, in the seventh minute of stoppage time, Sarabia set up Lemina for the winning goal, sending Molineux into a frenzy.
The late drama unfolded, leaving Spurs to rue missed opportunities and Wolves celebrating a well-deserved comeback.
