Tottenham grabbed a 1-1 draw in the dying seconds of their match against Wolves on Saturday evening in the Premier League and here are our Spurs player ratings.
Spurs were looking to follow up victories against West Ham, Villarreal and Doncaster Rovers and that comeback draw at Brighton with another positive display against the Premier League's bottom side. A victory against Vitor Pereira's men would have meant second place in the table just two points behind Liverpool after six matches.
Tottenham struck the crossbar 15 minutes in when Mohammed Kudus' header from Xavi Simson's cross was tipped on to the woodwork by Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
Spurs created plenty of opportunities in the first half to take the lead but it was the visitors who took the lead in the 54th minute. Guglielmo Vicario saved a Ladislav Krejci header from a corner but the ball struck Joao Palhinha and bounced back to Santiago Bueno to poke home.
It looked like Dr Tottenham had ended Wolves run of defeats only for Joao Palhinha to curl home a last gasp leveller. Good play from substitute Mathys Tel on the left saw him curl the ball into the box where Pape Matar Sarr knocked it back to the Portuguese to fire home a beauty.
Here are our Spurs player ratings:
Guglielmo Vicario
Unfortunate to see his save from Krejci hit Palhinha and bounce back to Bueno to score. Made a couple of saves otherwise. 6
Djed Spence
Back on the right and just didn't really find his rhythm there. His delivery wasn't great. 6
Cristian Romero
Battled away to the end, putting his body on the line with some last-gasp challenges. 7
Micky van de Ven
Made an excellent early sliding tackle and mopped up a lot at the back as Wolves had very few chances. 7
Destiny Udogie
Made a great interception and break that should have resulted in a better shot from Bergvall midway through the first half. Got into some great areas but didn't find the right ball at the right time. His second half did not match a bright first half at all though. 6
Lucas Bergvall
Was Spurs' best player in the first half but fluffed a volley inside the Wolves box 22 minutes in. Would have had a great assist with a backheel for the offside Kudus in the first half. Sent an acrobatic effort over the bar before the break. Struggled with the rest of the team in the second half but still came out of the game with more credit than most. 7
Joao Palhinha
Had a penalty shout in the first half and was unfortunate to see Vicario's save hit him and bounce to Bueno to score. Popped up though with his third goal of the season to level matters and it was a curling beauty of a finish. 8
Rodrigo Bentancur
A busy game without particularly impressing, other than covering for Romero's forays forward on a couple of occasions. 5
Mohammed Kudus
Saw a header tipped on to the crossbar 15 minutes in when he probably should have scored. Had a lovely curling effort ruled out for offside. A performance with threat rather than end product. 6
Richarlison
Offered pretty much nothing up front, although he would say he barely got any service. 4
Xavi Simons
Started shakily but whipped in a good cross that resulted in a Kudus header tipped on to the woodwork. Had little moments but never really got going, even when he moved into the middle in the second half. 4
Subs
Brennan Johnson
Tried to up the tempo but didn't offer too much down the right in his time on the pitch. 5
Pedro Porro
Same as Johnson, he didn't particularly add anything more than what had already been there on the right. 5
Pape Matar Sarr
Back in the squad and picked up a crucial late assist in teeing up the ball for Palhinha. 6
Wilson Odobert
Plenty of running into players rather than doing anything with the ball with his late cameo. N/A
Mathys Tel
In contrast, he made the difference with his cut inside and low cross that found Sarr. N/A
