 | A goal in the end brought victory to Tottenham16-12-2019 |
A goal in Jan Vertonghen`s added time brought Tottenham to victory at Wolverhampton. Jose Mourinho`s team recorded a fourth straight five-game winning streak in the Premier League and ended the `Wolves` series of 11 straight games without losing a championship. Lucas Moura found the score in the eighth minute and Adam Traore equalized in the middle of the second half.
After this success, the Spurs outstripped their current rival. They are now fifth, trailing only three points behind fourth Chelsea.
The two teams attacked from the first minute, but Tottenham struck first. A brilliant breakthrough and finish by Lucas Moura led the guests forward. The Londoners were under severe pressure but could double their lead before the break when Eric Dyer hit a beam.
Wolverhampton evened the score in the 67th minute when Traore signed off. Paolo Gasaniga made a decisive save after a header with Sice shortly before the end. In the closing seconds, Vertonghen hit the ball with his head after a corner kick and brought the Spurs victory.
