Tottenham Hotspur, who have been struggling recently, had to settle for a 2-2 home draw against a resurgent Wolverhampton Wanderers side after a late strike by substitute Jørgen Strand Larsen in an entertaining Premier League clash on Sunday.

Spurs, who had lost four of their last five league games and were dealing with a number of injuries, were hoping for a solid performance to ease the pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou. However, it was the visitors, led by new boss Vitor Pereira, who walked away happy.

Wolves had taken the lead after seven minutes through Hwang Hee-Chan, who fired a low shot that went in off the post after a short free kick, but Spurs equalised five minutes later when Rodrigo Bentancur's header beat keeper José Sá from a corner.

Spurs had a chance to go in front when Son Heung-Min's penalty was saved, but they did go in ahead at the break after Brennan Johnson scored from close range. The second half was a real nail-biter, with Strand Larsen scoring in the 87th.

Spurs are now in 11th place with 24 points from 19 games, their lowest position since the 2008-09 season. Wolves are 17th with 16 points, just two above the relegation zone.

Wolves started really well and shocked the home fans when a short free kick was played to South Korea forward Hwang on the edge of the box, and he fired a low shot into the far corner that beat the diving Fraser Forster and went in off the post.

Spurs levelled soon after when Bentancur rose above the defence to send a powerful header past Sa from a Pedro Porro corner on the right, much to the relief of Postecoglou.

Spurs almost took the lead just before halftime when they were awarded a penalty after André bundled Johnson over in the area, but captain Son's spot kick was brilliantly saved by Portuguese Sá down to his right.

Spurs did go in front in added time at the end of the first half though, when Johnson scored from close range after some neat footwork by Dejan Kulusevski inside the area, who cut the ball back from the right for the Welshman to finish smartly.

Wolves took off the injured Matheus Cunha, who was their most creative player in the opening period, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde at half-time, and brought on Strand Larsen and Goncalo Guedes as they looked to chase an equaliser.

Spurs made a change too, as Destiny Udogie limped off and was replaced by Sergio Reguilón at left back, which brought more defensive problems for a team hit by injuries, with their first-choice centre backs both missing.

Another Tottenham sub, Timo Werner, was soon in the thick of the action, bursting down the left before sending over a low cross that Dominic Solanke just failed to connect with.

Spurs continued to press and Kulusevski was played through by Solanke 10 minutes from time, but although his tame effort got past Sá, it was cleared by Santiago Bueno.

Wolves also looked dangerous, though, and snatched a point when Rayan Aït-Nouri played the ball down the left and Strand Larsen turned inside the box before firing a rising shot into the net past the stranded Forster to delight the away fans.

Pereira's side have now got seven points from their last three games, which should help them avoid being demoted.
