The STATS!!
The statistics from tonight's game.
Possession: Wolves 55% - 45% Spurs
Shots: Wolves 11 - 6 Spurs
Shots on Target: Wolves 6 - 3 Spurs
Pass Accuracy: 85% - 78% Spurs
Full Time Thoughts...
A brilliant, resilient Wolves second half display as they largely dominated the match. A lapse in concentration from the Wolves defence and Rui Patricio allowed Ndombele's strike to give the visitors a lead, but a excellent header from Romain Saiss got Wolves back on level terms.
Fabio Silva had a huge chance to win it at the death but his header was saved by Lloris.
FT' - Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur
The points are squared as it finishes 1-1 at the Molineux.
94' - Lloris to the rescue.
Neto beats his man down the left and crossed the ball in to a free Adama in the middle of the box, but Lloris is out to stop the cross.
93' - The game could go either way.
This game could honestly go either way right now. Edge of seat stuff.
91' - Final Change for Wolves
The final change for Wolves.
OFF: Daniel Podence
ON: Vitinha
90' - Added Time
6 minutes added on for either team to find a winner!!
85' - Wolves GOAL!!
It's a corner from Neto which is whipped in and met by a bullet header from Romain Saiss, who had lost his marker. Could Wolves do it again? They couldn't could they?!?
85' GOALLLLL WOLVESSS
Wolves are LEVEL!!! Romain SAISS from the corner!!!
82' - Changes all round.
Changes for both Spurs and Wolves.
Wolves
OFF: Joao Moutinho
ON: Owen Otasowie
Spurs
OFF: Heung-Min Son
ON: Eric Lamela
79' - Classic Mourinho...
This is now Wolves attack vs Spurs defence. Wolves moving the ball from side to side but to no avail yet.
74' - Substitution for Wolves
Wolves' first change is a forced one due to the injury to Marcal.
OFF: Fernando Marcal
ON: Rayan Ait-Nouri
70' - Marcal down and it doesn't look good.
Fernando Marcal is down and receiving treatment for what looks to be a hamstring injury. Rayan Ait-Nouri looks to be coming on.
69' - Substitution for Spurs
Spurs' second change.
OFF: Tanguy Ndombele
ON: Moussa Sissoko
67' - Neto turning up the heat.
Neto uses the dummy run of Fabio Silva to open up the space for a shot, but it is blocked and goes behind for a corner. Nothing comes from it but Wolves are certainly growing into this game.
62' - Substitution for Spurs...
First change for Spurs.
OFF: Sergio Reguilon
ON: Steven Bergwijn
59' - Wolves come close this time.
Back and forth game this is. Pedro Neto makes a dazzling run down the left hand side of the pitch and beats Ben Davies, before giving it to Silva who just couldn't get the ball under control. It rolls through to Lloris.
58' - Spurs come close.
Eric Dier hits a free kick from roughly 30 yards out, but it sails wide of Patricio's right post. Danger averted for Wolves.
Good signs for Wolves
Since the start of last season, Wolves have scored more goals than any other team in the league - 65 to be exact.
Good news for Wolves, but are they able to do it against a well drilled Mourinho side?
49' - Wolves have started the better side.
Wolves have started the second half the much better side. Fabio Silva has gone over in the box, which was judged not to be a foul. Neto and Traore have also been much better.
45' - Second Half underway
We are underway at the molineux for the second half.
He has been the difference...

Wolves need to get going in the second half.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, the side that over the past few years has been known for coming from behind and coming on strong in the second half - and boy do they need it now!!
This game has the look of Wolves vs Chelsea, when Wolves scored two in the second half to win the game.
HALF TIME STAT ATTACK!!
Half Time statistics:
Possession: Wolves 53% - 47% Spurs
Shots: Wolves 4 - 5 Spurs
Shots on Target: Wolves 2 - 3 Spurs

HALF TIME: WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 0-1 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR.
Half Time at the Molineux, Spurs lead thanks to a Tanguy Ndombele strike inside the first minute.
Wolves have shown signs and have had half chances, but still haven't broken though yet.
Nuno will once again have to deliver a strong half time team talk in order to get his side firing.
44' - Approaching half time...
As we approach half time, Wolves are once again showing signs of breaking down Spurs.
So far though, Tottenham have stood firm.
Ndombele is having a brilliant game, controlling the midfield.
38' - Podence with a good chance.
The ball falls to Podence just inside the box who hits it on the volley, but it is straight into the hands of Lloris. Wolves slowly but surely growing into this game.
33' - Starting to look like classic Jose.
This game is starting to look a bit like a classic Jose Mourinho match. Wolves having the ball and moving from side to side, but not really getting anywhere while Spurs look to hit on the counter.
27' - Fabio Silva comes close.
Fabio Silva latches onto a cross from Nelson Semedo but puts it wide and smashes the side netting. Brilliant passage of play from Wolves, who are definitely growing into this game.
22' - Coady down and injured.
Conor Coady went down and there has been a rather long stoppage in play, but he is now up and back on the field on play.
16' - Wolves free kick.
Davies commits a foul on Daniel Podence right on the edge of penalty area. Saiss over it but nothing comes from it as it is hit into the wall.
57 seconds it took...

Wolves are struggling here...
Wolves are struggling to get any control of the game so far here after going behind early. Semedo looks threatening down the right wing with Adama Traore. Signs for Wolves but they are struggling.
01' - Tottenham Goal.
Tottenham win the corner in the first play of the game. Wolves only half deal with the delivery as the clear to the edge of the box but it falls to Ndombele who strikes from range and beats Patricio.
01' - GOALLL: SPURS LEAD.
Spurs take the lead inside the first minute of the match. Ndombele the scorer.

Such a huge game for Wolves tonight, if they can get the win then they will be right back into the top 6 conversation.
How good is it to see these two in the stadium?

Last time out...
Last time Wolverhampton Wanderers played Spurs the Midlands side came out on top, winning 3-2.
Having come back from one goal down, twice, Wolves' number 9 settled the score and clinched the old gold of Wolves all three points.
However tonight, none of the goal scores that night will be on the pitch tonight for Wolves as Diogo Jota and Matt Doherty have left the club, and Raul Jimenez is out injured.
A huge milestone for the skipper tonight!!
Conor Coady makes his 250th appearance in gold & black tonight.

4 at the back for the wanderers!!
Nuno goes for a back 4 tonight in an attempt to disrupt Spurs and the way that Mourinho likes to play.
If Tottenham sit back like we know they tend to do, they will have to deal with Adama, Podence, Neto and Fabio Silva all at once.
It will be an interesting game tonight.

The visitors form...
Spurs come into this game off the back of a 2-0 defeat to Leicester City the last time they played in the league. A game in which they didn’t look confident or assured in at all.
However, in midweek Spurs beat Stoke City in the quarter-final of the EFL Cup.
Last 5 games: LLDWD
The hosts form...
The hosts come into this game having fallen short last time out, away at Burnley.
They will be wanting to bounce back here and put in the performance that they did in the second half against Chelsea a couple of weeks ago.
