Tottenham 2-2 Wolves: Jorgen Strand Larsen’s late equaliser heaps more pressure on Ange Postecoglou as Vitor Pereira’s unbeaten start continues

Strand Larsen onto a pass by Rayan Ait-Nouri and slamming a powerful shot high past Fraser Forster at his near post.

Once it had been made by referee Chris Kavanagh, however, there was no reversal ever coming from the VAR. Son took responsibility, but his penalty was that of a player low on confidence and saved by Jose Sa diving to his right.

Rodrigo Bentancur restored parity five minutes later before Brennan Johnson put the hosts ahead

Johnson made the breakthrough in the third minute of first half stoppage time, linking up with Dejan Kulusevski and firing in 11th of the season and his first for eight games.

Ange Postecoglou remains under immense pressure amid Tottenham’s dismal start to the campaign

Cunha is allowed to play while awaiting the outcome of a charge of violent conduct brought for his part in a post-match skirmish following defeat at home to Ipswich in O’Neil’s final game, and he won the free kick from which Wolves took the lead inside seven minutes.

Tottenham improved from here. They continued to look vulnerable but started creating chances and missing them. Radu Dragusin headed wide form a corner and Yves Bissouma fired over from the edge of the penalty area.

One point does little to ease the pressure building on Ange Postecoglou. They have won once in seven Premier League games since the victory at Manchester City and this display was noisily booed at the final whistle.

Little is going right for Postecoglou. Beyond the frustrations of the defensive injury crisis and congested schedule, Tottenham ran into a Wolves team in a purple kit and a purple patch, winning twice without conceding since Vitor Pereira replaced Gary O’Neil and before a looming ban for their best attacking player Matheus Cunha.

Jorgen Strand Larsen came off the bench to lash a finish past Fraser Forster in the 87th minute

Ultimately, it was Wolves sub Strand Larsen who made the most decisive contribution from the bench.

The penalty awarded for a foul by Andre was a gift. Johnson was darting forward into the box. It was harsh in the sense that Johnson was more intent on engineering contact than bringing the ball under control and Wolves disputed the decision.
