Tottenham 1-0 Wolves LIVE! Kane header seals win - Premier League result, match stream and updates today

Tottenham 1-0 Wolves LIVE! Kane header seals win - Premier League result, match stream and updates today

Harry Kane set a Premier League record as his headed goal earned Tottenham Hotspur a 1-0 home victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers that put them top of the table on Saturday.

Tottenham were outplayed in the first half but were a different proposition after the interval with Kane pouncing in the 64th minute to score his 185th Premier League goal.

No other player has scored more Premier League goals for a single club, with England skipper Kane moving clear of Sergio Aguero’s tally for Manchester City.

Wolves, who are now winless in their last 10 Premier League games, had 12 goal attempts to Tottenham’s one in the first half but were unable to make their superiority count.

Tottenham then found some extra gears to seize control, with Kane and Son Heung-min both being denied by the woodwork before Kane headed in from a corner flicked on by Ivan Perisic.

It was Tottenham’s 1,000th Premier League goal at home and lifted them to seven points from their opening three games, a point more than champions Manchester City, who play on Sunday, and Arsenal who are in action later on Saturday.

Wolves have one point from their opening three games.

Full match report

Harry Kane once again proved Tottenham’s milestone man as the England captain’s 250th goal sealed a win over a resilient Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Much like at Chelsea last weekend, Antonio Conte’s side started slowly. During the first-half, the home side were outshot 12-1, with Matheus Nunes and Ruben Neves both going close in a 45 minutes Wolves largely dominated.

Such was the disappointment in the ground, there were a smattering of boos from the home support as Tottenham trudged off to receive what was surely the most heated of hairdryers from Conte.

Richarlison gets a run out

14:12 , Jonathan Gorrie

82:00 - Brilliant play from Richarlison, nutmegging two Wolves players and getting through on goal. Neves, however, does well to challenge him before he can get his shot off.

CHANCE FOR WOLVES!

14:10 , Jonathan Gorrie

80:00 - Brilliant work from Jimenez, jinking inside and out to leave the Tottenham defence in his wake, though his pass across the face of goal is cleared.

That goal looked straight from the training ground and was surely one from the Gianni Vio playbook? Perisic flicked on Son’s corner at the near post and Kane was there to head home from close range.

Spurs already improved since half-time, with Kane striking the crossbar with a diving header. But you wonder how long before Conte calls from Richarlison and Bissouma, who helped to change the game at Chelsea last weekend.

CHANCE FOR WOLVES

13:44 , Jonathan Gorrie

53:00 - Ait-Nouri goes close now! The Wolves defender gets behind the Spurs backline but waits too long and see his angle for a shot sharpened.

Lloris saves well.

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

13:06 , Jonathan Gorrie

Some frustration is creeping in for Spurs, who are struggling to make inroads against a well-organised Wolves side. Spurs have played some intricate stuff in wide areas but there’s not much threat from Kane, Son or Kulusevski, and Wolves have had the better chances of the opening half-hour.

The groans!

13:00 , Jonathan Gorrie

29:00 - The home crowd are making their feelings clear - they do not like what they see.

Lots of groans coming from the stands. Tottenham are not at the races so far.

19:00 - Tottenham are upping the tempo and the crowd are reacthing.

Kulusevski and Kane are getting on the ball, starting combination and switching play to stretch a Wolves side who were finding things far too easy early on.

12:44 , Jonathan Gorrie

Guedes causing Spurs some problems. Just after he flashed a shot wide of the post, Hojbjerg is booked for bringing him down in the centre circle as Wolves countered. It’s an even game but Wolves have had the better chances.

Wolves looking dangerous

12:42 , Jonathan Gorrie

12:00 - Hojbjerg goes in the book after Podence and Guedes combine and almost work their way behind a high Spurs line.

Had to do it.

CHANCE FOR WOLVES

12:41 , Jonathan Gorrie

11:00 - Guedes breaks through the middle and goes to shoot at the near post, though Lloris has it covered.

Wasted

12:41 , Jonathan Gorrie

10:00 - Absolutely wasted by Son, who it must be said, hasn’t started the season particularly well.

Dangerous free-kick for Spurs

12:40 , Jonathan Gorrie

09:00 - Son is running towards the touchline, going nowhere, and Collins brings him down.

Could be dangerous...

CHANCE FOR WOLVES

12:38 , Jonathan Gorrie

07:00 - Neves shoots from the edge of the box after a corner but can’t quite get enough power behind it.

Harry Kane stretches his legs

12:35 , Jonathan Gorrie

04:00 - Not known for his runs behind the defence these days, Kane looks to stretch the Wolves backline but can’t quite control a dropping ball on the run.

Well defended

12:33 , Jonathan Gorrie

03:00 - Neto and Jonny look to combine behind the Spurs defence, though it’s well defended by Ben Davies.

Spurs looking compact.

Lovely conditions

12:32 , Jonathan Gorrie

01:00 - Tottenham passing the ball around nicely, with Wolves sitting in during the opening stages.

KICK-OFF

Ben Davies admits Tottenham players were not surprised by Antonio Conte’s touchline row

11:54 , Jonathan Gorrie

Tottenham’s Ben Davies says he was not surprised by Antonio Conte’s passion at Stamford Bridge and that the squad would “run through a brick wall” for the head coach.

Cristiano Ronaldo told to play like Harry Kane

11:15 , Jonathan Gorrie

Former Manchester United winger Andrei Kanchelskis has told Cristiano Ronaldo to start playing like Harry Kane

“The Ronaldo situation is similar to Pogba. When United are doing well there is no problem, but when United start losing or struggle, they start saying ‘I’m not happy, players are not good enough, United are not good enough’. Okay? Move! Go away! This is the same situation with Ronaldo, he only plays for himself, not for Manchester United. If he’s not happy, then ‘thank you Ronaldo, now go elsewhere’” he told OLBG.

“You look at Kane at Tottenham - he’s always selfless no matter what happens. Ronaldo needs to be that man and try and help Man United because right now he’s only thinking of himself..

“Ronaldo isn’t the same as when he originally joined from Sporting Lisbon, now he’s a big player and has a big ego, he wants to be winning and play in the Champions League. If this is what he wants he can go.”

Antonio Conte hails Oliver Skipp’s progress on return from injury as ‘really good news’ for Tottenham

11:04 , Jonathan Gorrie

Oliver Skipp’s imminent return to the Tottenham squad as the fixture schedule ramps up will be “really good news”, says Antonio Conte.

The midfielder, often cited as a key player by the Italian, is yet to feature for Spurs this season after suffering a hairline fracture in the weeks building up to the campaign.

Skipp enjoyed a breakthrough as a Tottenham player last season but saw it ended prematurely after suffering a pelvic injury in late January.

Antonio Conte keen on further Tottenham signings if favoured fringe players leave in clear-out

10:53 , Jonathan Gorrie

Antonio Conte has raised the possibility of further signings at Tottenham this summer, saying the club must replace any players who leave before the end of the month.

Tanguy Ndombele arrived in Rome on Thursday to complete a medical with Napoli ahead of a season-long loan move, while Giovani Lo Celso returned to Villarreal on loan last week.

Conte, however, has not considered either midfielder part of his squad since they returned from previous loan spells at the start of pre-season, and they were training individually. Harry Winks and Sergio Reguilon are also on the transfer list and training alone.

Tottenham target Ashley Phillips expected to stay at Blackburn this summer

10:47 , Jonathan Gorrie

Tottenham are interested in Blackburn Rovers teenager Ashley Phillips but the defender is expected to stay at Ewood Park this summer.

Phillips, 17, has broken into the Rovers team this season, starting three of their first five matches of the campaign, and is out of contract next year.

Spurs were thought to be winning the race to sign the six-foot-four centre-back ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United, and would have likely sent Phillips straight out on loan to continue his development.

However, he is understood to be more likely to remain in Lancashire unless the situation changes, with Rovers keen to tie him to a new deal.

Antonio Conte wants Tottenham squad to think like winners and start treating draws like defeats

10:39 , Jonathan Gorrie

Antonio Conte says his Tottenham players have to understand that ambitious teams treat draws and defeats in the same way.

Spurs snatched a last-gasp draw against rivals Chelsea last weekend through Harry Kane‘s stoppage-time equaliser, and the result has been widely regarded as a point won, particularly given their awful record at Stamford Bridge.

Conte won five league titles in six full seasons before joining Spurs and says he is trying to teach his squad that teams competing for major honours cannot be satisfied with drawing games.
