GOMES BRACE STUNS SPURS AS WOLVES WALK AWAY WITH VICTORY
Tottenham missed the chance to consolidate their place in the Premier League’s top four as they were beaten 2-1 by Wolves on Saturday.
Joao Gomes scored both goals for the visitors, who moved into the top half and ended their opponents’ five-match winning streak on home soil.
Gary O’Neil’s side took the lead three minutes before half-time when an unmarked Gomes met Pablo Sarabia’s corner and planted a firm header into Guglielmo Vicario’s right corner.
Tottenham hit back within 34 seconds of the restart with Dejan Kulusevski skipping past Craig Dawson before poking the ball through Jose Sa’s legs from a tight angle.
Wolves regained the lead and ultimately secured victory in the 63rd minute following a devastating counter. Pedro Neto charged half the length of the field before laying off for the advancing Gomes, who brilliantly swept a first-time shot past Vicario.

GREAT CHANCE
As the clock ticks down, Tottenham pile on the pressure.
Davies is completely unmarked as he meets Kulusevski's cross into the box, but cannot adjust quickly enough and sends his header wide of the target.

Wolves make another change and Neto is given a well-earned rest.

SAVE
Tottenham go in search of the equaliser and patient build-up culminates in Emerson taking aim.
The full-back unleashes a low drive from the edge of the box, but Sa is equal to it.

10 MINUTES LEFT
We are set for an exciting climax to this game.
Can Wolves hold on, or is there to be a dramatic twist in Spurs' favour?
77'
WHY DIDN'T HE SHOOT?!
Wolves counter once again and have a glaring opportunity to wrap up the victory.
Neto shows great awareness to find the unmarked Bellegarde.
However, the substitute appears to hesitate at the vital moment and rather than get a shot away, he cuts inside and sees his eventual attempt blocked.

GOAL!!! TOTTENHAM 1-2 WOLVES (GOMES)
The visitors regain the lead!
Moments after Semedo made a brilliant block to deny Kulusevski, Wolves launch a devastating counter from a Spurs corner.
The pacey Neto leads the charge and shows great awareness to check back at the byline and find the onrushing Gomes, who guides a brilliant first-time shot past Vicario for his second goal of the game.

GREAT STRIKE
End-to-end stuff here as Tottenham threaten this time with a series of neat one-touch passes.
The ball is set for Kulusevski to unleash a fierce 20-yard drive that is creeping into Sa's bottom-left corner, but the Wolves goalkeeper does well to get his fingertips to it.
56'
CHANCE
Wolves look to regain the lead and a crossfield pass finds Semedo in acres of space on the right wing.
The full-back whips a delicious ball into the area to find Sarabia, whose first-time shot is beaten away by Vicario.
53'
INFLUENTIAL SON
The Spurs skipper has been directly involved in nine goals in his last eight Premier League appearances.
He takes on his marker before flashing the ball towards goal from the left, but Sa does well to hold onto it.

WHAT A RESPONSE
Whatever Postecoglou said to his players at half-time clearly had the desired effect.
Spurs have look incredibly purposeful upon the restart.
