Wolves had lost their opening five league games.

Tottenham would have gone second with a win but produced a laboured display and were fortunate not to suffer their second home league defeat of the season.

Mohammed Kudus had a goal ruled out for offside in the first half for Tottenham but Thomas Frank’s side struggled to break down a resolute Wolves rearguard until Palhinha popped up to spare their blushes.
