Tottenham Hotspur managed to salvage a point against Wolverhampton Wanderers, thanks to a late equalizer that resulted in a 1-1 draw. This outcome prevented Wolves from joining an exclusive list of Premier League teams that have lost their first six games.
Tottenham controlled the game's tempo in the first half, building on their promising start to the season, which has yielded 10 points from their first five league games. Despite their dominance, the Spurs struggled to create clear-cut chances, but their persistence paid off when they finally equalized in stoppage time.
Tottenham got off to a promising start, with Mohammed Kudus testing Wolves' defense early on. Kudus arrived at the back post to meet Xavi Simons' cross with a header that Sam Johnstone managed to tip onto the crossbar.
Kudus was involved in another scoring opportunity minutes later, combining well with Lucas Bergvall. However, his first-time strike that would have found the far post was disallowed due to offside, cutting short his celebrations. Despite the setback, West Ham continued to press forward.
The first half ended with a flurry of opportunities, most of which favored Tottenham. Lucas Bergvall attempted an acrobatic hook towards goal, while Mohammed Kudus had another strike thwarted by Sam Johnstone. Richarlison narrowly missed turning home at the back post after Andre deflected Kudus' cross just out of reach.
Despite Tottenham's dominance, Wolves managed to stay in the game, and on the stroke of halftime, Matt Doherty clipped a half-volley onto the woodwork, keeping the scoreline level going into the break. This moment gave Wolves a glimmer of hope as the teams headed into halftime.
Wolves avoided extending an unwanted Premier League record of trailing at halftime in nine consecutive games. However, this didn't ease the pressure they faced after the restart, as Spurs continued to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities.
The visitors took a surprise lead when a Spurs corner wasn't cleared, allowing Santiago Bueno to score his first goal for Wolves with a flicked finish. This goal came after Wolves had held firm for nearly an hour, catching Spurs off guard and shifting the momentum in their favor.
Tottenham's 15-match unbeaten streak against teams starting the day at the bottom of the league was in jeopardy as they struggled to respond to going behind. Instead of mounting a comeback, Spurs looked vulnerable, with Wolves threatening to seal the win.
Vitor Pereira's side came close to doubling their lead with 15 minutes remaining, but Guglielmo Vicario made a crucial save to deny Hugo Bueno's low-driven shot, keeping the scoreline at 1-0. This moment highlighted Wolves' growing confidence and Tottenham's defensive vulnerabilities.
