Spurs made a bright start to the game and took the lead in the ninth minute courtesy of Dele Alli’s penalty. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men hung on to their narrow advantage and went into the half-time break one goal up the scoreline.
The North London outfit defended valiantly in the second 45 minutes and managed to grind out a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Wolves, much to the delight of the traveling Tottenham supporters at the Molineux.
