Wolves vs Spurs Highlights: Adama Traore LATE winner sinks Tottenham Hostpur, Wolves return to winning ways against wasteful Spurs – Check Highlights
Following their 1-0 loss to Sheffield United in the FA Cup on Thursday, Spurs suffered their second consecutive setback. Wednesday’s Champions League match pits Tottenham against AC Milan, where they must overcome a 1-0 deficit from the first leg in Italy. Wolves’ manager Julen Lopetegui appeared to be only interested in keeping Spurs quiet as his team managed without a single shot before the break after losing Costa to an apparent knee injury in the first half.
In the first half, the Spaniard effectively used Mario Lemina to man-mark Kane, leading Wolves out of the relegation zone and into midtable since he took over in November. Dejan Kulusevski’s first-time effort in the 19th minute forced a smart save from Jose Sa in the Wolves goal as Tottenham made a solid start and had a chance to take the lead.
Just before halftime, Pedro Porro hit a free kick against the crossbar, but Wolves’ spoiling strategies kept their opponents at bay for the most part, preventing Kane from having his typical impact. During halftime, Lopetegui made two substitutions, replacing Lemina with Nathan Collins in place of Pedro Neto, and it was the 27-year-old Spaniard who won the game.

The visitors paid the price for failing to adapt to Wolves’ shift in strategy at halftime when Heung-Min Son blasted a deflected shot against the bar for Spurs in the 47th minute.
When Nelson Semedo missed Nelson Jimenez’s cross at the far post in the 51st minute, Wolves came very close to taking the lead. In the 69th minute, Ruben Neves forced two saves from Forster in quick succession before firing a shot that was saved by Forster.
