Tottenham faced a challenging match against Wolves, ending in a 2-2 draw, with Jorgen Strand Larsen scoring a late equaliser. This result added pressure on Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham's manager. The game began with Hwang Hee-chan giving Wolves an early lead in the seventh minute. Rodrigo Bentancur quickly responded for Tottenham, heading in a goal from Pedro Porro's corner just five minutes later.

Son Heung-min had an opportunity to put Tottenham ahead with a penalty in the 43rd minute. However, Jose Sa saved it, keeping the score level. Brennan Johnson then capitalised on a foul by Andre to win a penalty and scored, putting Tottenham ahead before halftime. Johnson's close-range finish was assisted by Dejan Kulusevski, but Kulusevski's late miss proved costly as Santiago Bueno cleared off the line.

Larsen came on at halftime for Matheus Cunha, who appeared to have injured his knee. Larsen made an impact by connecting with Rayan Ait-Nouri's pass and scoring past Fraser Forster with just three minutes left. This goal secured a point for Wolves and left Tottenham without a win in their last three league matches. Tottenham now sits 11th in the table, while Wolves are two points clear of Leicester City and the relegation zone.

Hwang's early goal marked the 15th time this year that Tottenham has fallen behind at home in the Premier League. This is more than any other team in a single calendar year within the competition. Meanwhile, Bentancur's header highlighted Wolves' defensive weakness as they conceded their tenth goal from corners this season.

Johnson has been impressive this season, scoring his 11th goal for Tottenham across all competitions. This surpasses his previous best of ten goals for Nottingham Forest during the 2022-23 season. Despite Johnson's efforts, Spurs have not won any of their last five home Premier League games since October 2008.

The current winless streak mirrors Juande Ramos' final matches as manager back then, which could be concerning for Postecoglou given the mounting pressure on him now.
