Joao Palhinha struck late on to end Tottenhams 15-game winless run and give them a vital three points in the battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League.The midfielder found the net in the 83rd minute as Spurs narrowly overcame already-relegated Wolves in a nervy 1-0 win at Molineux. Spurs remain in the bottom three, but the result keeps them within two points of West Ham, who beat Everton courtesy of a late Callum Wilson goal. Table of ContentsHow the action unfoldedLine-upsHow the action unfoldedA tense, goalless first half yielded few chances for either side. Spurs largely dominated possession but failed to test Wolves keeper Jose Sa. After the break, the hosts went close when a deep cross from the left was flicked on by Pedro Lima. The ball fell to the onrushing Mateus Mane, but the forward could only divert his header over Antonin Kinskys crossbar. Adam Armstrong flashed a header narrowly past the post as the already-relegated Wolves looked to heap further misery onto Spurs. But with less than 10 minutes remaining, the visitors gave themselves a lifeline. From a corner, the ball dropped to Richarlison, whose poke towards the far post fell the way of the stretching Palhinha. The midfielder, who netted late on in the reverse fixture, turned the ball home to send the travelling fans into raptures. Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi cut an animated figure on the sidelines as his side looked to see out the remaining few minutes of the game. With just seconds left, Kinsky produced a remarkable save to preserve the points for Spurs, clawing Joao Gomes goal-bound free-kick out of the top corner. It proved the last action of an otherwise tense affair in the Midlands. After 118 days, Tottenham finally had a victory in the league to keep their survival hopes firmly alive.
