"From zero to thwarted heroes, life breathes yet through Wolves. Though it should have been three points rather than one. Wolves had been full of a fight and determination hitherto lacking from their season, only for Joao Palhinha to strike an equaliser in the depths of stoppage time. It had been close to a tactical triumph for Vitor Pereira, linked with the West Ham job that is now Wolves predecessor Nuno Espirito Santo's."
"From a home defeat by Leeds last week that heightened the growing disquiet at Molineux, his starting team selection featured nine changes, including an initial shift to four at the back. Tottenham 1-1 Wolves: Premier League live Wolves badly require more than the single point they now have, considering other expected relegation candidates' promising starts. A near repeat of the form that relieved Gary O'Neil of his duties almost a year ago has suggested the continued danger of asset-stripping a squad."
"At Tottenham, a number of the Wolves summer buys that confounded fans showed they had something to offer, only for concentration to lapse, and Pape Sarr lay up Palhinha for a raking drive. As the final whistle sounded, Pereira ripped up his notes and threw them in rage at the turf. Sam Johnstone was denied, after an excellent performance in place of Jose Sa followed the well-travelled stand-in's fine performance against Newcastle a fortnight previously."
Wolves produced a determined performance at Tottenham, adopting a four-at-the-back formation and making nine starting changes. Joao Palhinha struck a stoppage-time equaliser to deny Wolves victory, leaving the team with only one Premier League point. Vitor Pereira recently signed a three-year contract despite earlier league losses and mounting disquiet at Molineux. Several summer signings showed promise during the match but a lapse in concentration allowed Pape Sarr to lay up the late goal. Pereira reacted angrily after the draw. Tottenham rotated amid a congested schedule, and Sam Johnstone produced an excellent display in goal.
