Tottenham’s winless run stretched to four Premier League games as their attempt to defend a lead for 90 minutes backfired, with Wolves coming back to claim a deserved 1-1 draw.

Spurs went in front through Tanguy Ndombele after just 57 seconds but then, just as they did at Crystal Palace a fortnight ago, retreated en masse and could not see the job through.

Incessant Wolves pressure was finally rewarded in the 86th minute as Romain Saiss headed home from a corner and it was the least the hosts deserved.

Neves again had an opportunity from distance as he tested Lloris, but the France goalkeeper was equal to it with a smart save down to his left.

There was an air of inevitability about Wolves’ equaliser which came four minutes from time.

Saiss darted to the near post and sent a glancing header inside the far post as Spurs’ weakness from set-pieces was highlighted again.

The hosts were the ones pushing for the winner and it could have come right at the death, but Silva did not connect properly with a header and Mourinho’s side clung on for a point.
