Struggling Tottenham Hotspur had to settle for a 2-2 home draw against a revived Wolverhampton Wanderers side after a late strike by Norwegian substitute Jorgen Strand Larsen in an entertaining Premier League clash on Sunday.
Wolves had taken the lead after seven minutes by Hwang Hee-chan, who fired a low shot off the post after a short free-kick, but Spurs equalised five minutes later when Rodrigo Bentancur’s header beat goalkeeper Jose Sa in a corner.
Tottenham faded the possibility of moving forward ahead of part-time when the kick of his son Heung-min was saved, however, they went to the front after Brennan Johnson hit from a short distance. 87 minutes.
The result left the Spurs languishing in 11th place with 24 from 19 games, the first time they will finish the year down from seventh since the 2008-09 season. The wolves are 17th in 16 issues and two problems above the relegation zone.

Then, a penalty failed after Andre knocked Johnson, but the hosts took the lead in the discount time of the first half, with Johnson completing after a Kulusevski pass. It seemed that the Spurs would cling to the three things, but missing only three minutes to the end, Strand Larsen crashed into the roof of the network thanks to the intelligent help of Ait-Nouri to give the Wolves a point to home, a point that leaves two points above the scoreboard.
