Wolverhampton's chances

Lemina approached the goal and made a cross pass to his teammate. As with other plays from the beginning of the match, the Wolverhampton player's handling was very poor. Lemina passed the ball to his teammate's back and was cleared by a Tottenham defender.

Tottenham's chance

Johnson finished the counter-attack with a shot wide. The striker tried to take a touch to put the ball into the top corner but failed.

Wolverhampton continued to press but their efficiency was not improved. The home team lacked a playmaker and also lacked a sharp striker.

Wolverhampton's chances

Even Hwang Hee-chan, Wolverhampton's most in-form player, was an amateur in front of goal. The South Korean striker missed a clear chance to score in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper.

Wolverhampton's chances

The home team counterattacked very well. Cunha had a good shooting angle but he shot wide. The accuracy in the decisions and execution of the attacking players is still Wolverhampton's weak point.

Wolverhampton's chances

Bellegarde's long-range shot missed the target. Wolverhampton counter-attacked very freely but the home team's striker made very poor decisions and executed them very poorly.

Wolverhampton's chances

Toti headed the ball lightly. Goalkeeper Vicario was able to fly and catch the ball.

Wolverhampton could not maintain the same attacking rhythm as in the first half. However, the home team maintained a good position against their opponents.

Wolverhampton's chances

Lemina decided to shoot from a tight angle, not difficult enough to beat goalkeeper Vicario. This was a situation where Wolverhampton were in a 3-on-1 situation with the opposing defenders but the home team's strikers did not move properly.

Without Maddison, Tottenham's creative and breakthrough duties fell to Johnson on the left and Kulusevski on the right. With Porro pushing forward, Tottenham's right flank was the more promising attacking direction.

Tottenham struggled as their opponents played aggressively and pressed them all over the pitch. Wolverhampton showed urgency in every ball situation.

Tottenham have not had any more shots since Johnson's goal. Wolverhampton have had four shots but none have been able to get past the defenders.

Wolverhampton attacked relentlessly. The home team brought the ball down to the sideline, entered the penalty area but had no shot.

GOAL! Tottenham open the scoring

Wolverhampton 0- 1 Tottenham

Porro combined with Kulusevski on the right wing and set up Johnson for a close-range finish.

Wolverhampton vs Tottenham Prediction

The defeat to Chelsea in round 11 was a painful defeat for Tottenham both literally and figuratively. Coach Ange Postecoglou's team lost its unbeaten streak and lost the top spot. Not only that, Tottenham's squad was seriously damaged.

Coach Postecoglou cannot use Christian Romero and Destiny Udogie because of red cards in the previous round. Mickey van de Ven and James Maddison are on the injury list. Tottenham must rely on Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski in attack.

Wolverhampton is 14th in the table. Their form is inconsistent. They can beat Man City but still lose to Sheffield United.

Coach Gary O'Neil's team played well, but the problem was efficiency. Wolverhampton's force was not highly rated, leading to their inability to maintain stability. However, with Tottenham unable to use their strongest squad, Wolverhampton had reason to believe in their ability to win when playing at home.
