Two goals from Wolverhampton Wanderers in injury time extended Tottenham Hotspur’s setback
They are defeated for the second consecutive day and forget about the leadership of the Premier League
Two goals from Wolverhampton Wanderers in injury time, one of them beautifully scored by Pablo Sarabia, prolonged the setback for Tottenham Hotspur, who with their absences and suspensions, He is defeated for the second consecutive day and forgets about the leadership of the Premier League (2-1). After the carnage suffered against Chelsea, with James Maddison and Micky Van de Ven injured, and Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie sent off, Postecoglou covered the losses and thanks to Brennan Johnson’s debut as a scorer After two minutes, the ‘Spurs’ looked like winners at the Molineux Stadium until injury time, when their penalty came. In the 91st minute, Sarabia, who had entered four minutes earlier, He invented a control with his right hand and a volley with his left foot that earned the tie, but it was just the appetizer for Mario Lemina in the 98th minute, after an assist from Sarabia, to give victory to Gary O’neill’s team in an extraordinary comeback that completely breaks the great league debut of the ‘Spurs’. These two goals were the oasis within a match lacking in emotion and that was only agitated at its extremes, because as soon as the match started, Tottenham took the lead. Pedro Porro let a horizontal pass pass on the edge of the area for Dejan Kulusevski to receive on the right flank. The Swede held the ball until Porro doubled him and with a back heel made it possible for the Spaniard to enter. Porro raised his head and put in a low, flat cross that Johnson, cutting to the near post, pushed into the net. It was the first goal for the former Nottingham Forest player since he arrived at Tottenham and it helped Postecoglou’s team play very calmly throughout the game. To the point that they forgot to attack. Once they had the advantage on the scoreboard, they dedicated themselves to speculation and gave up the attack.. Only Johnson, in a counter, was able to sentence, but his Vaseline attempt, for fear of being overtaken, went very wide. It was Wolves who, due to anxiety, had the best chance to get at least a draw, but Vicario, who He was the man of the match despite conceding four goals against Chelsea, prevented the ‘Wolves’ from tying a cross shot by Mario Lemina. Until Vicario faced Sarabia’s top hat. The Spaniard came on in the 87th minute and already in stoppage time he headed towards the area, Matheus Cunha saw him arrive and raised a ball to him on the run. Sarabia pricked it with his right hand and impaled it with his left foot to the delirium of Molineux, who still had an unexpected joy left. In the 98th minute, with time up, Sarabia invented an assist to leave Lemina in front of the goalkeeper and for the Gabonese to touch the ball just enough to beat Vicario and leave the three points in Wolverhampton. Wolves rise to twelfth position, with fifteen points, nine above relegation, and Tottenham is second, two points behind Manchester City, who, if they beat Chelsea tomorrow, will go into the national team break five points ahead.
