Tottenham failed to win for the third time in a row – this time, against the revived Wolverhampton, which remained undefeated in the third game under the new manager, Vitor Pereira. Wolves took the early lead over Hwang Hee-chan, but Spurs managed to come from behind and take the lead before the break thanks to Rodrigo Bentancur and Brennan Johnson, while the captain Son Heung-min missed a penalty.Savinho ‘The Saviour’ comes to the rescue, as City finally winAfter the break, neither team was quite uninspired, but the visitors still managed to take the smile off the home fans’ faces, as they levelled three minutes before the end through Jorgen Strand Larsen, who secured a valuable point for his crew – 2-2.15 – Tottenham have fallen 1-0 behind in 15 Premier League home games in 2024, the most ever by a side in a single calendar year in the competition.

Following a nice action from a free kick, Hwang Hee-chan was the executor from a distance, finding the net off the post.What a goal by Hwang pic.twitter.com/meSrU4wbvm— Frankline (@Frank_6vg) December 29, 2024 TOT 1-1 WOL Goal – bentancur Assist – Porro#TOTWOL pic.twitter.com/gE0Onbr86U— A 37 (@OnIy4K) December 29, 2024 However, Spurs responded only four minutes later when Rodrigo Bentancur crowned Pedro Porro’s excellent corner kick with a powerful header and a leveller. In the 24th minute – a similar situation, but a different shooter and outcome. Porro crossed it from a corner once more, but Radu Dragusin wasn’t as fortunate as the Uruguayan to find the back of the net.Sons missed penalty.

Still, the captain Son Heung-min shocked the crowd, allowing Wolves’ custodian Jose Sa to “read his mind” and save his strike. Nevertheless, six minutes later, Johnson took matters into his own hands, bringing Spurs the lead just before the break.Goaaaal ⚽️🔥 🏴 Brennan Johnson#Spurs v #Wolves Johnson again ole ole Thats 11 goals now for Tottenham #COYS #TTID pic.twitter.com/hPi3r2NNpP— Jonny H (@JonnyH3232) December 29, 2024 As much as the first period was immensely exciting, the second half was one of the dullest in the season. A bunch of subs on both sides, with only one attempt on target, marked the initial 40 minutes of the second half, but then – a shock!⚽️ GOAL: Strand Larsen🏴 Tottenham 2-2 Wolverhamptonpic.twitter.com/J92EN7epcU— Goals Xtra (@GoalsXtra) December 29, 2024 In the 87th minute, Rayan Ait-Nouri sent a timely pass for Jorgen Strand Larsen, who unleashed a “bomb” straight into Fraser Forster’s net, making it 2-2 with little time to play! Another disappointing performance could cost Tottenham dearly as they could fall to the 14th place in the Premier League, while Wolves will await the New Year above the relegation zone.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 19Sunday Leicester – Man.City 0-2 (0-1)/Savinho 21, Haaland 74/Crystal Palace – Southampton 2-1 (1-1)/Chalobah 31, Eze 52 – Dibling 15/Everton – Nott.Forest 0-2 (0-1)/Wood 15, Gibbs-White 61/Fulham – Bournemouth 2-2 (1-0)/Jimenez 40, Wilson 72 – Evanilson 51, Outtara 89/Tottenham – Wolverhampton 2-2 (2-1)/Bentancur 12, Johnson 45+3 – Hwang 7, Larsen 87/20.15: (7.50) West Ham (4.60) Liverpool (1.42)Monday 22.45: (2.00) Aston Villa (3.50) Brighton (3.70)22.45: (7.25) Ipswich (4.60) Chelsea (1.43)23.00: (2.70) Man.Utd.
