1 Wolverhampton Wanderers: Highlights, man of the match, stats as Joao Palhinha snatches Spurs a point

Wolverhampton Wanderers' winless woes continued on Saturday night as Tottenham Hotspur struck late to snatch a 1-1 draw in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur looked the more likely of the two to break the deadlock in the first half, even having the ball in the net through Mohammed Kudus' offside strike, though Wolves appeared largely comfortable defensively and even threatened on occasions, and the scores ultimately remained tied heading into the break.

Wolves were the better of the two from the restart, swiftly taking the lead just 10 minutes in when Santiago Bueno turned home from close range, and the visitors appeared certain to register their first win of the campaign as the clock ticked towards the final whistle.Â

However, Wolves hearts were broken late on as Joao Palhinha curled in from outside the box in the final minutes to secure a last-gasp point in the Premier League.

SPORTS MOLE'S VERDICT

Tottenham Hotspur looked measured in their approach during the first half, but all form of composure appeared to disappear following Bueno's opener.Â

The Old Gold were hugely improved after their opening goal, boosting them to beat Tottenham to almost every ball, while they were far more aggressive in both their defensive and attacking actions.Â

Vitor Pereira's side were impressive throughout the entire 90 minutes, especially in defence as they limited Spurs to very few chances of note, particularly in the second half as they were on the front foot for the majority, while their defensive shape limited Tottenham to hopeful crosses and strikes from distance.

However, one of those long-ranged strikes eventually proved worthwhile for Spurs, as Joao Palhinha curled in from outside the box to secure a last-gasp draw - a strong show of persistence from the hosts.

MAN OF THE MATCH - SANTIAGO BUENO

Bueno was brilliant in both boxes for Wolverhampton Wanderers today, scoring their goal and helping their solid defence for much of the match.Â

Not only did the defender score their only goal, but Bueno also registered the most tackles (four) and won the most duels (12), while also making three interceptions and four clearances.

Arias also deserves a mention, with the attacker battling defensively for Wolves while also being one of the most creative players on the pitch.
