Spurs earn vital win at Wolves to boost survival hopes

Tottenham Hotspur picked up a crucial 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers to keep their survival hopes alive in the Premier League.

It was Spurs’ first league win of 2026 and ended a long run without a victory. Wolves, already relegated, struggled to make an impact at home.

Tottenham started the brighter side but neither team created many chances in a quiet first half. The main talking point was a strong challenge on Yves Bissouma that could have been a red card, but no action was taken. Spurs also lost Dominic Solanke to injury.

In the second half, Spurs pushed forward. Xavi Simons had their best chance but missed the target, and later went off injured.

Wolves grew into the game and caused problems late on. Rodrigo Bentancur forced a save with a strong header, the first shot on target.

The winning moment came in the 82nd minute. A corner from Pedro Porro fell to Richarlison, whose effort was turned in from close range by João Palhinha.

For Wolves, the defeat confirms a difficult end to their Premier League stay.
