Tottenham 1-1 Wolves: Palhinha’s Late Strike Saves Spurs From Wolves’ Bite

Tottenham were forced to settle for a draw after a tense night that ended 1-1 against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Santiago Bueno put Wolves in front midway through the second half, capitalising on a loose ball inside the box. Tottenham had dominated large spells of the game but struggled to break down a well-organised defence, with several promising attacks halted by strong challenges and sharp goalkeeping.

Their persistence finally paid off deep into stoppage time. In the 94th minute, João Palhinha produced a calm finish from just outside the area to rescue a point for Spurs. It was a deserved equaliser after continued pressure in the closing stages.

Earlier in the match, Mohammed Kudus saw a header cleared off the line and had a goal disallowed for offside. Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone also denied Tottenham on multiple occasions with crucial saves.

After the match, Thomas Frank admitted the team lost structure and control once they conceded, but he praised their determination and fighting spirit. He acknowledged the disappointment of not taking all three points but viewed the late goal as a positive response.

Tottenham remain third in the Premier League table, but the result leaves questions about their ability to close out tight matches despite their resilience.
