How it all happened

Wolves threatened right from the first blast of the whistle, and minutes into the game, Leander Dendoncker's effort was saved by the Tottenham goalkeeper.

The visitors opened the scoring through a Raúl Jiménez effort in the 6th minute as he right-footed his effort from the centre of the box to the top right corner following a set piece situation.

The hosts made efforts to restore parity when Harry Winks attempted a shot from outside the box which was blocked.

In the 18th minute, Leander Dendoncker found the back of the net to extend the lead for the visitors as the home side were stunned.

Dejan Kulusevski attempted to put his side back into the game as his left-footed shot from the centre of the box was close, but missed to the right.

Later into the game, Harry Kane's header from the centre of the box was blocked as the striker was put through by Emerson Royal. It ended; Tottenham 0-2 Wolves.
