Tottenham vs Wolves

Follow the action live as Tottenham host Wolves on Matchday 3 in the 2022-23 Premier League.

Spurs play host to Wolves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. The Premier League is a hard league to play in." 1 Hr to kickoff: The teams are in! "I always want to stay on the bench," the Spurs supremo solemnly tells BT Sport. The visitors keep possession and enter the Tottenham penalty area again. 5 Mins to kickoff: The players are in the tunnel! Spurs, attacking from right to left in the first half, kick us off. Moutinho tries to lob a pass beyond the Tottenham backline. Wolves so nearly have the lead! A brief VAR check takes place on Sanchez's intervention, adjudging the defender not to have touched the strike with his hand. Wolves have had 10 of the 11 attempts so far! Wolves kick us off and give possession away in a dangerous area on Tottenham's right.

Tottenham beat Wolves 1-0 to momentarily go top of the Premier League table, as Harry Kane's second half header was enough to get past stubborn Wolves.

Harry Kane: Had the quality and composure needed in the second half to get Spurs on the front foot and scored the all-important goal. Raul Jimenez is back on the bench after his recent injury, while Joao Moutinho is back and starts. In the second half Spurs forced the issue more and won the midfield battle, as Spurs again relied on a Harry Kane header from a well-worked corner. They did that with minimum fuss against an attack-minded Southampton on the opening day of the season, so let’s see how they cope against a solid, stubborn team who will sit back and defend deep. If they want to close the gap on title favorites Manchester City and Liverpool this season, they have to brush aside teams like Wolves to stay in the hunt. Scored his 250th goal for Tottenham in all competitions and 185th in the Premier League, to set a new record as he has scored more goals for a single PL team than any other player in history. Hugo Lloris has also been really good in the first few weeks of this season. Resilient Tottenham ready to take next step: Their spirited draw at Chelsea and this narrow win over Wolves proves that Antonio Conte is ready to take Tottenham to the next level. Wolves lovely to watch, but same problems remain: Bruno Lage’s Wolves were superb in the first half and stroked the ball around brilliantly as new signings Goncalo Guedes and Matheus Nunes slotted in seamlessly. Antonio Conte may have to tweak the way he sets up this Spurs team as they are getting overrun in midfield with this 3-4-3 formation. These are the kind of games you need to win if you’re serious about challenging for the title and that is the next step for Spurs. Lage’s side knock the ball around splendidly and are more attack-minded in a 4-3-3 system but they still don’t have a clinical edge.

It's not perfect but seven points from three games will do for Antonio Conte. Tottenham Hotspur defeated Wolves 1-0 to kick off Saturday's slate of matches.

A sustained drought for the team could cause the board to look for a change. The simple shift next match will be removing striker Daniel Podence for a now healthy Raul Jimenez but Raul only scored six goals in 34 appearances last season so the crux of the scoring woes looms for Lage. Halftime adjustments, like tweaking the positioning of Emerson Royal and Dejan Kulusevski, left Spurs much improved in the second period, and on balance they deserved the three points they ended up with, but getting there was a process. Son's short corner was flicked on by Perisic and Kane did what he has now done 250 times for the club scoring a goal that would prove to be a winner. With Davidson Sanchez deputizing for an injured Cristian Romero, Royal stayed in the starting lineup at right wing-back to provide coverage for an onrushing Rayan Ait-Nouri along with new signing Goncalo Guedes up top.
