From zero to thwarted heroes, life breathes yet through Wolves. Though it probably should have been three points rather than one. A point edged Tottenham into the surprise party Crystal Palace, Sunderland and Bournemouth are enjoying in the top five as João Palhinha’s strike in the depths of stoppage time denied Wolves. Showing a fight and determination hitherto lacking from their season, the visitors had seemed destined for victory via Santiago Bueno’s scrappy opener.
So close to a tactical triumph for Vítor Pereira, who signed a new, three-year contract last week, despite his team being on nil Premier League points. “The spirit was there, everything was there but the last minute, it’s football,” said the Wolves manager.
