    Live at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the match began with both teams maintaining a good and balanced game, with good touches of the ball. Wolves had their first shot of the game in the 7th minute. An unmarked Neves was located by a good corner from the right. He fired right on target, but Hugo Lloris saved easily on his line.

    An unconvincing start by Antonio Conte’s side so far, it was Wolves proving more dangerous when charging forward. Wolves had a chance again in the 20th minute, but Neves shot wide of the near post.

    Wolves continue with fantastic and lovely play from the midfield. The host appeared disoriented and lost with the fans becoming tad. Tottenham yet to fire a shot on target.

    Wolves considerably did better than their hosts but Antonio Conte’s tactics gradually picked up in the game but still no save for the Wolves’ goalkeeper with the first half nearly coming to a close.

    It was another moment of brilliance for the visitors in the 42nd minute. It was Neves again on the charge. This time, his glancing header was just a few inches from the post, with Hugo Lloris on his line.

    Tottenham’s great and only chance came in the 45th minute. It was incredibly close! Ivan Perisic’s cross meets Kane’s looping header. A brilliant save there by Sa. He tipped it off with his finger over the bar for a corner kick.

    Wolves successfully defended the corner. The first half ended with both teams going into the break with a 0-0 draw. Wolves proved they are no pushovers as they were the better side throughout the first half.

    The team filed out again into the stadium for the last 45 minutes of the game. This time, it was the host who controlled the game, looking for a goal.

    A corner kick in the 48th minute for the host would have put the team ahead. A right wing corner from Perisic just needed a header from Sanchez was a golden chance missed!

    It was more of Harry Kane’s show in the 50th and 51st minutes. The England international hit the crossbar with a fantastic header.

    After mounting intense pressure on their visitors, Tottenham finally takes the lead in the 64th minute. The England international netted his 250th goal for the host. Perisic has flicked Son’s corner from the left. An unmarked Harry headed into an empty net to give the host a deserved lead.

    Traore and Semedo replaced Nouri and Neto for Wolves in the 73rd minute as the visitors struggled to get back into the game.

    Tottenham swapped Perisic and Son for Richarlison and Sessegnon in the 76th minute. It was still Spurs leading the visitors by a goal to nil.
