Tottenham vs Wolves - LIVE

Tottenham conceded a late goal to draw 2-2 at home with Wolves in the Premier League, a result that keeps the pressure on Ange Postecoglou in the process and to compound matters, Spurs suffered a fresh injury blow when Destiny Udogie limped off with a suspected hamstring issue early in the second half to further deepen the well-documented crisis in defence, whilst Rodrigo Bentancur will miss the Newcastle United game through suspension.

The hosts suffered the worst start possible as Wolves broke the deadlock after just seven minutes thanks to a well-worked set-piece routine. Rayan Ait-Nouri rolled the ball to Hwang Hee-chan who escaped his marker to find the new. Spurs’ response was immediate as Bentancur equalised from a corner before Heung-min Son had a penalty saved.

Despite Brennan Johnson completing the turnaround just before half-time, Jorgen Strand Larsen equalised with a fantastic finish in the 87th minute to deny Tottenham all three points.

Player ratings

17:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Dejan Kulusevski 9 | Star player

Outstanding. Looked hellbent on ensuring Spurs went in ahead at the interval, creating the penalty and Johnson’s goal with some excellent work down the right. Unlucky not to score when he rounded Sa but Santiago Bueno got back to clear.

Brennan Johnson 8

Took his goal coolly, playing a smart one-two with Kulusevski and finishing at the near post. Showed great desire to win the penalty after bursting onto the Swede’s pass.

Heung-min Son 4

His penalty miss reflected a lack of confidence and perhaps mental and physical fatigue. Struggled to get into the game and needs a rest.

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

More limp defending from Spurs, who allowed Strand Larsen to get behind too easily. A big few minutes ahead for Postecoglou's side, who you imagine will push for a winner but can scarcely afford to concede again.

16:49 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

16:14 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Destiny Udogie is the latest Spurs player to pull up clutching his hamstring in more grim news for Postecoglou. The lesser spotted Sergio Reguilon is coming on (which goes some way to reflecting the injury crisis facing the Spurs head coach right now).

Tottenham 2-1 Wolves

16:12 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

HT: Tottenham 2-1 Wolves

15:51 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Brilliant work from Johnson and Kulusevski again ensures Spurs will go into at half-time ahead, despite Son's missed penalty.

Kulusevski has been outstanding this half, outshining Cunha, to ensure Spurs have turned the game around and are half way to an important result.

GOAL! Tottenham 2-1 Wolves | Brennan Johnson '45

15:50 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

45+2 min: TOTTENHAM LEAD

Minutes after the missed penalty, Spurs take the lead as Brennan Johnson tucks the ball away after great work from Dejan Kulusevski.

15:48 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

45+1 min: Nelson Semedo is booked for a trip.

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

15:46 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Son's lack of confidence and sharpess - mentally and physically - was reflected in that missed penalty. It could be a big moment in the context of the game and even Spurs' season.

Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

15:45 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

43 min: PENALTY MISSED

Heung-min Son sees his effort from the spot saved by Jose Sa.

Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

15:41 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

39 min: Spurs are beginning to get on top here.

Pedro Porro’s deflected cross creates chaos in the Wolves box before the ball drops kindly to Yves Bissouma outside the area, he can’t resist a volley but his effort is high and wide.

Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

15:39 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

37 min: Wolves are nearly the masters of their own downfall as Jose Sa takes a risk in his own box. Spurs are able to win the ball back to force a corner, however they can’t create a goalscoring chance.

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

15:37 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Starting to feel like a game involving too tired teams here, with lots of loose passes and scrappy play. Son is particularly struggling for Spurs and has barely registered so far.

If Timo Werner doesn't get a game for Spurs today, he surely never will.

Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

15:36 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

34 min: Patient build-up from Wolves leads to Cunha taking a shot a goal. The effort drifts wide but Forster was scrambling.

Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

15:31 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Luckily for the pair, the offside flag was raised.

Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

15:28 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

26 min: Bellegarde does well to keep the ball in play as Udogie looked to see it out. This eventually leads to a corner which is defended by Wolves but the aforementioned midfielder goes into the book for bringing down Kulusevski as Spurs looked to break.

Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

15:26 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

23 min: Almost a goal for Spurs as Pedro Porro’s corner once again finds a teammate but Radu Dragusin can only plant his header wide of the post.

Tottenham have been criticised this season for their defensive set-pieces, but today they are looking dangerous when attacking them.

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

15:23 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Fraser Forster is soldiering on after receiving treatment on what looks like a muscle complaint in his left leg.

Spurs no3 goalkeeper Brandon Austin is now warming up but there's a risk here that Postecoglou's defensive crisis could deepen.

Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

15:23 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

20 min: Concern for Spurs with Fraser Forster requiring treatment. That is the last thing Ange Postecoglou needs at the moment.

Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

15:18 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

16 min: The last Wolves set-piece led to a goal, but this one hits the wall as Cunha opted for a more direct approach.

Tottenham 1-1 Wolves

15:16 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

14 min: Just the four minutes between the two goals and you get the feeling the scoring is not over yet.

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

15:15 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

That finish is becoming a bit of a trademark for Bentancur, who scored an identical goal against Ipswich in November, also from Porro's corner.

Spurs have roared straight back, setting up another potentially brilliant game involving Ange Postecoglou's side.

GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Wolves | Rodrigo Bentancur '12

15:13 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

12 min: INSTANT RESPONSE FROM SPURS

Rodrigo Bentancur draws Tottenham level as he rises highest to nod home Pedro Porro’s corner.

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

15:11 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Wolves fans are singing Vito Pereira's name after a goal that looked straight from the training ground.

Spurs are frustrated that Johnson appeared to be caught by Bueno after the short free-kick was taken but they were asleep, so can only have themselves to blame.

GOAL! Tottenham 0-1 Wolves | Hee-Chan Hwang '7

15:10 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

7 min: WOLVES TAKE THE LEAD

From the resulting free-kick, the ball is worked to Hee-Chan Hwang and he finds the back of the net with a superb finish.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves

15:07 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

4 min: Spurs look to press Wolves at the back but Craig Dawson does well under pressure from Brennan Johnson to keep the ball moving.

Wolves then win a free-kick as Cunha is brought down. The attacking midfielder takes his time getting to his feet, but looks OK to continue.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves

15:03 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

1 min: Wolves straight on the attack after Spurs turnover possession. However, Cunha overhits his pass to Ait-Nouri and the hosts have a goal kick.

Rodrigo Bentancur then has a shot from range charged down.

KICK-OFF!

14:41 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Heung-min Son leads the Tottenham side out for their pre-match warm-up.

Transfer news

14:36 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

The transfer window opens early next week and Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham are "working hard" to sign players in January.

“In the context of where we're at at the moment, I think it is an important [window],” Postecoglou said. “Our league position is not great but it’s super tight and we’re not that far off.

“We're in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup and still in great position in Europe and there's the FA Cup.

“There's still everything to play for this year for us to make it a season where we can have success. But we need some help, the players need some help more importantly, and the club is working really hard to try make that happen.”

Spurs' defensive issues

14:31 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

In Tottenham's last three home games in all competitions, they have conceded 13 goals.

Of course, with a number of injuries in this department, Spurs have been weak defensively but even so, that is an alarming record. Furthermore, they've not kept a clean sheet at home since October.

This will surely give Wolves some confidence this afternoon.

Postecoglou on tough period

14:27 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has swatted away suggestions that this is his most challenging time as manager.

“No, it is just another challenging time. There is always challenging times, and it never runs smoothly. We are in a tough spot and have been for a little while but we have the opportunity to get out of it. I have no doubt we will get out of it soon.”

Tottenham suspension risks

14:22 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Rodrigo Bentancur and James Maddison have to be careful this afternoon.

Both are on four yellow cards in the Premier League.

This means if either are booked against Wolves, a one-match suspension will be served against Newcastle United next weekend.

Around the grounds...

14:17 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Almost a full schedule today with four 3pm BST kick-offs.

Leicester City vs Manchester City - 2.30pm

Crystal Palace vs Southampton

Everton vs Nottingham Forest

Fulham vs Bournemouth

Tottenham vs Wolves

West Ham vs Liverpool - 5.15pm

How it stands...

14:12 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Victory for Tottenham will be enough to lift them into the top half of the Premier League table - they are currently three points off Brighton in 10th and have a superior goal difference.

Wolves, meanwhile, are 17th as it stands and will be looking to pull away from the relegation zone.

In the building!

14:07 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Wolves changes

14:02 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira has opted to freshen up his side too as he makes three changes from the win over Manchester United on Boxing Day.

Craig Dawson, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Hee-Chan Hwang all start.

Tottenham changes

13:56 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

As expected, Pedro Porro returns to the starting line-up as the suspended Djed Spence makes way.

The good news is that Radu Dragusin is fit enough to start at centre-back alongside Archie Gray.

The only other changes from the side that started against Nottingham Forest on Boxing day sees Yves Bissouma replace Pape Matar Sarr in central midfield.

Wolves team news

Team news imminent

13:40 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

We are expecting the team news to be announced shortly.

The big question from a Tottenham perspective is will Radu Dragusin be passed fit to start or will Yves Bissouma be asked to fill in at centre-back?

Stay tuned...

Dragusin latest

13:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Tottenham are sweating on the fitness of Radu Dragusin ahead of this afternoon's clash against Wolves, but crucially, Ange Postecoglou has not ruled the defender out of contention.

“It's a bit early to tell, he tweaked his ankle last night, felt like he couldn't continue, so we'll have to wait and see,” the Spurs boss said. “We'll wait until he gets in (for training) today and assess him from there.

“Djed was also sent off, so we'll miss him as well, and from a physical perspective, tired bodies, but no further issues."

Six years ago today...

13:30 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

The two teams met on this exact day in 2018 with Wolves leaving Wembley Stadium, Tottenham’s home at the time, with a 3-1 win thanks to a devastating 15-minute spell.

Tottenham arrive

13:25 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Here’s footage of the Tottenham squad arriving at the stadium for today’s Premier League clash against Wolves.

Tottenham predicted XI

13:20 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Djed Spence is suspended after being sent off at the City Ground, so Pedro Porro will return at right-back, while Yves Bissouma, James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall could freshen up the midfield after being rested against Forest.

Tottenham captain Heung-min Son could be given a much-needed rest, with Kulusevski switching to the front three and Brennan Johnson moving to the left wing.

Tottenham predicted XI (4-3-3): Forster; Porro, Gray, Bentancur, Udogie; Bissouma, Bergvall, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Johnson

Pereira looking forward to reunion

13:15 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Vitor Pereira will be reunited with Ange Postecoglou on the touchline this afternoon after their paths crossed a number of years ago in the Asian Champions League.

And the Wolves boss is looking forward to facing the Tottenham head coach.

“I appreciate him a lot because we competed in Asia. He was the manager of Yokohama F. Marinos, and I was the manager of Shanghai SIPG in China,” Pereira said. “We played in the Asian Champions League two or three times.

“He’s a manager with different ideas, very offensive ideas, but it’s a team that can score a lot of goals. It means that we need to be at our best level to compete with this team. The next game will be very, very hard for us, but we must recover now and prepare for the game.”

Dragusin hint?

13:10 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Some eagle-eyed Tottenham supporters have spotted a possible sign that Radu Dragusin will be fit to feature against Wolves this afternoon...

Postecoglou demand

13:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou has called for clubs to be allowed bigger squads to mitigate the impact of the schedule after his injury crisis deepened.

Premier League clubs and those competing in Europe are limited to 25 senior players but Postecoglou believes either the calendar or the rules must change.

"One of two things needs to happen: either you somehow change the fixture schedule, which doesn't seem feasible, or you allow clubs bigger squads," Postecoglou said. "Then you have other issues with that, as well.

"The attrition rate you're seeing, it's not just us [but] we're going through a particularly bad moment. Newcastle went through it last year and it affected them pretty badly, they were obviously in the Champions League as well and probably didn't have the squad to cope with it."

Ben Davies has suffered a setback in his return from injury, so misses out.

There is hope Dragusin will be able to play, otherwise Yves Bissouma is in line deputise alongside fellow makeshift defender Archie Gray at centre-back.
