Palhinha’s 90+4 stunner rescues Spurs and denies Wolves a first win

Palhinha’s 90+4th-minute stunner rescues Spurs and denies Wolves a first win.

João Palhinha snatched a 1-1 draw for Tottenham with a ferocious finish four minutes into stoppage time, denying Wolves a first Premier League win of the season and sending the home crowd into pandemonium. Collecting Pape Sarr’s lay-off, the midfielder drove a raking effort beyond Sam Johnstone, a late twist that spared Spurs after a laborious second half.

By then Wolves had led since the 54th minute, when Santiago Bueno capitalised on chaos from a Jhon Arias corner. Guglielmo Vicario saved Ladislav Krejci’s effort, and the rebound ricocheted off Palhinha, falling kindly for the Uruguayan centre-back to tap in, leaving Vitor Pereira’s side on the cusp of a cathartic breakthrough after five straight league defeats.
