Kudus has a goal disallowed
27 min Spurs are taking control of the game slowly but surely. They thought they’d scored a moment ago when Kudus finished emphatically from Bergvall’s backflick, only for the flag to go up for offside. It was a simple decision for the assistant.
23 min Udogie’s pass is half blocked by a Wolves player and spins kindly towards Bergvall in the area. He fresh-airs an attempted volley and the danger passes.
21 min Spurs appeal for a penalty when Andre boots a cross straight into the face of his teammate Santiago Bueno. That’s not handball, lads.
19 min Spurs are starting to enjoy more possession, though that Kudus header remains their only chance of not.
15 min: Kudus hits the bar!
Simons cuts inside from the left and curls a wicked ball to the far post. It evades the falling Richarlison and bounces up towards Kudus, whose powerful close-range header is fingertipped onto the bar by Johnstone. That’s a marvellous reflex save.
13 min That Spurs lorner leads to another, which leads to a Wolves throw-in on the far side.
12 min The Spurs crowd appeal for a penalty when Udogie’s cross hits the arm of Doherty in the area. It was tight to his body to a corner is all Spurs will get.
9 min Possession percentages so far: Spurs 38-62 Wolves. That sums up a really confident start by Wolves.
6 min Wolves have made an excellent start. Munetsi raids down the left this time and flips a good cross that ricochets around the Spurs area before being cleared.
4 min Hwang does well to win a corner on the left for Wolves. Arias’s fast, flat corner is headed dangerously across goal and booted away at the far post.
1 min Peep peep! Spurs kick off left to right as we watch.
Here come the players. It’s an important night for Wolves, who are currently pointless after five Premier League games. Truly, they’re better than that.
