Tottenham Hotspur drew 2-2 after Jorgen Strand Larsen’s 87th-minute equalizer for Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon.
There was a collective pause before a roar from the away side reverberated around him Tottenham Hotspur The stadium in sight of Hwang Hee-chan’s opener in the seventh minute. Afforded freedom to D Wolves‘ with a tricky line of blockers, the South Korea international pushed a well-worked set-up beyond Fraser Forster.
Hwang’s first goal represented the 15th Premier League home game in 2024 in which the Spurs fell short. As Opta pointed out, that’s more than any other side in the competition’s history.
Tottenham didn’t lose for long. In a rather more prosaic set-piece routine, Rodrigo Bentancur rose above the sagging purple jerseys to head in the equalizer from a Pedro Porro corner in the 12th minute.
Spurs had a chance to take the lead before the half-time whistle when Brennan Johnson lured Andre into a needless tackle that earned him a penalty. However, Jose Sa denied Son Heung-min’s firm effort.
The furious half-time reaction that those left in the stands were bracing for was quickly erased by Johnson’s go-ahead goal in first-half stoppage time. Keeping his cool at the end of a move driven forward by Bentancur, the Welsh winger fired into the bottom corner with virtually the last shot of the first half.
As the jittery crowd grew more wary and Spurs sank deeper and deeper, Wolves dealt a dagger to Tottenham’s morale with an 87th-minute equaliser. Jorgen Strand Larsen broke the offside trap and hit the roof of Forster’s net from a sharp angle.
More points dropped leaves Tottenham in 11th place, while Wolves’ extended unbeaten start under new manager Vitor Pereira has lifted them two points above the relegation zone.
