Wolves' stunning late surge shook Tottenham and prevented Spurs from reclaiming the top spot in the Premier League. Pablo Sarabia and Mario Lemina scored in stoppage time to secure a thrilling and well-deserved 2-1 victory. Brennan Johnson's early goal, his first for Spurs, initially gave them the lead and hinted at a potential victory at Molineux. However, Tottenham were fortunate to escape with the win as Wolves consistently pressured them until Sarabia and Lemina's late goals turned the game on its head.

Tottenham's defeat comes after their recent loss to Chelsea, and the absence of key players due to injuries and suspensions further compounded their struggles. Wolves, on the other hand, rebounded from a controversial loss to Sheffield United and showcased the progress they are making under Gary O'Neil.

Despite their early lead, Tottenham appeared tentative at the back and struggled to create opportunities. Wolves capitalized on this, with Ben Davies blocking a shot from Rayan Ait-Nouri and the hosts' tenacity flustering Spurs. The absence of star player Pedro Neto affected Wolves' finishing, while Tottenham, missing main playmaker James Maddison, failed to generate meaningful chances.

As the game progressed, Wolves continued to dominate but were unable to convert their opportunities. However, a dramatic turn of events in stoppage time saw Sarabia and Lemina score, securing a remarkable win for Wolves and denying Tottenham a chance to regain the top spot in the league.

The thrilling match showcased Wolves' resilience and determination, highlighting the progress they have made under O'Neil. Meanwhile, Tottenham's struggles continue, with their recent defeats exposing vulnerabilities in their squad.
