Harry Kane scored his 250th goal for Tottenham as they moved top of the Premier League for a few hours with a hard-fought win over Wolves.  The England forward reacted sharply to head in Ivan Perisic's flick on from a corner to give Spurs their reward for their second-half dominance. Kane's effort also saw the hosts become the fifth team to score 1,000 goals at home since the Premier League was formed in 1992. The goal had been coming with both the 29-year-old and his strike partner Son Heung-min hitting the woodwork as Spurs poured forward to break the deadlock. The intensity of their football was in complete contrast to the first period, when a Wolves team containing seven Portuguese players - the joint-most from a single foreign nation in a starting XI in the competition - were in the ascendancy.  Bruno Lage's side restricted the hosts to just one 45th-minute effort and were unfortunate to see record signing Matheus Nunes nod Ruben Neves' probing pass inches wide of the Spurs goal. However, despite the promise of Nunes' display and the neat and tidy football which saw them develop several good openings, Wolves lacked a spark in the final third as their winless top-flight run reached 10 matches.

When Hwang Hee-chan sent his mistimed clearance into the air, the Frenchman waited on the edge of the area before delivering the sweetest finish that gave Wolves keeper Jose Sa no chance.

Only 55 seconds had elapsed when Jack Grealish poked Manchester City ahead

Erling Haaland continued his impressive scoring run as Manchester City went back to the top of the Premier League with a comfortable win against 10-man Wolves at Molineux.  

The hosts had only touched the ball once before Jack Grealish put City in front after just 55 seconds.  Haaland scored for the seventh consecutive game and took his tally to 14 in the past nine when he doubled the visitors' advantage with a long-range effort after 16 minutes.  

A spirited Wolves continued to try and attack, even after Nathan Collins was sent off for a high first-half tackle on Grealish.  However, with Raul Jimenez missing through injury and new arrival Diego Costa not deemed fit enough for any involvement beyond meeting some fans before the game, they never looked likely to add to their paltry tally of three league goals. By contrast, City have 23, with Phil Foden completing their victory by flicking home Kevin de Bruyne's low cross midway through the second half.

Armando Broja scored his first Chelsea goal in a dominant victory over a lacklustre Wolves, who remain without a permanent manager. Kai Havertz opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time but the Blues could have put the game out of sight long before then.  Christian Pulisic doubled the lead, playing a one-two with Mason Mount and sending the ball sailing past goalkeeper Jose Sa before Broja hammered into the bottom corner with his left foot late on. T

Wolves, playing their first match since sacking manager Bruno Lage last weekend, were unorganised and Diego Costa, making his first start for the Midlands club against his former side, struggled to get in the game with the team hemmed in their own half.

Wolves have converted their past 18 penalties in the Premier League, including seven from Ruben Neves

Wolves' match-winner Ruben Neves alerted his team-mates to the pre-match social media wind-up that backfired badly on Nottingham Forest at Molineux.  In the build-up to their 1-0 defeat, Forest's official Twitter account posted a mock-up picture of striker Emmanuel Dennis sat on the pitch at the City Ground with three wolf cubs calmly sat with him, with the caption 'Playtime'.  The post was subsequently deleted, but not before Neves had forwarded it to the Wolves squad. Neves went on to score the only goal from the penalty spot to lift Wolves out of the relegation zone and leave Forest bottom of the Premier League. Wolves then posted 'Playtime's over', together with a picture of an axe embedded in a tree trunk. "Yes, we were aware of it," said Wolves interim manager Steve Davis. "We were going to use it in the talk but Ruben said he put it on the players' chat so I didn't need to say any more. "Those sort of things used to happen on the pitch. That doesn't happen so much now, but it gave us an edge."

Report

Wolves also had to thank goalkeeper Jose Sa for coming out on top in a game of two VAR penalties.

Whilst Neves scored after Harry Toffolo handled Adama Traore's shot, Sa turned away Brennan Johnson's effort after VAR had spotted Mathues Nunes tugging back Ryan Yates. The save was made more remarkable as Sa has been playing with a broken bone in his wrist since he damaged it against Fulham on 13 August.  "It was the other [wrist] thankfully," said Davis. "He has played through it. A lot of players can play through pain. Some can't. Fair play to Jose to show courage at that moment."

Diego Costa received his first red card in his 95th Premier League appearance

Diego Costa apologised to his Wolves team-mates after being sent off in second-half stoppage time of their draw at Brentford.  The striker was sent off for violent conduct after appearing to headbutt Brentford's Ben Mee, and is now set to miss three matches with a likely return of the Boxing Day meeting with Everton following the World Cup. "He's apologised," said interim head coach Steve Davis. "When emotions are high it is difficult to discuss things, but we'll have a conversation with him next week." Earlier, Ruben Neves' equaliser had cancelled out Mee's superb volley early in the second half to help Wolves to a point that moved them up one place to 18th. An attritional and injury-laden first half gave way to a livelier second period, with Brentford's Ivan Toney missing from close range late on. But the Bees' prolific striker was also booked for his fifth yellow card of the season, meaning he will miss their next outing against Nottingham Forest.

Marcus Rashford turned from villain to hero as he came off the bench to score the only goal against Wolves and move Manchester United into the Premier League top four.  Rashford picked the ball up outside the Wolves area, then, after exchanging passes with Bruno Fernandes, held off three defenders before driving home his 11th goal of the season in all competitions.   The result ended Julen Lopetegui's two-match winning start as Wolves manager and kept them in the relegation zone.   However, they came so close to snatching a point in stoppage time when Raul Jimenez's goal-bound header was turned away at point-blank range by David de Gea. The availability of loan signing Matheus Cunha for Wednesday's West Midlands derby at Aston Villa cannot come soon enough for a side who struggle so badly to turn impressive approach play into goals.

Lopetegui said: "The way they fought a big team like Man Utd, in the end I thought we deserved more."

Ings has scored four goals in seven Premier League appearances against Wolves

Substitute Danny Ings' late equaliser earned Aston Villa a point and denied Wolves an important Premier League victory in their West Midlands derby at Villa Park. Ings cancelled out Daniel Podence's delightful first-half strike as he lifted the ball past Jose Sa after his run behind the defence was picked out by Tyrone Mings' superb pass. Podence ensured the visitors capitalised on their purposeful start as the Portuguese forward weaved past Douglas Luiz before curling a 12th-minute opener beyond World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. Making his first appearance since lifting the World Cup with Argentina last month, Golden Glove winner Martinez was called upon to deny Matheus Nunes at close range as the visitors continued to offer the greater threat. The hosts eventually sparked into action in the final 20 minutes, with Max Kilman heading Ludwig Augustinsson's shot off the line before Ings' leveller.  But despite relentless pressure they were unable to force a late winner and an emotional Leon Bailey had to be consoled by his team-mates at the full-time whistle after he missed a late chance, shooting wide from an angle after rounding Sa in stoppage time.

Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper says reaching a first EFL Cup semi-final in 31 years will offer old and new fans the chance to dream after being drawn against Manchester United.  Forest beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw to set up the clash against the team they were beaten by in the 1992 final.  Wolves should have been awarded a match- winning penalty as Cunha was brought down by  Aurier who escaped scot free.  Dean Henderson was the penalty shootout hero as Cooper's side overcame Wolves at the City Ground.  Henderson turned away Ruben Neves' spot-kick after Jose Sa had denied Sam Surridge, then turned away Joe Hodge's effort following Forest converting all four of their remaining penalties. Forest had led in normal time when former Wolves pair Morgan Gibbs-White and Willy Boly combined, with Gibbs-White hanging an excellent first-half corner into the six-yard box and Boly stabbing home from close range.  

Wolves scored a superb equaliser when new loan signing Matheus Cunha's low cross invited the finish from striker Raul Jimenez.  The game ended with ugly scenes in the centre of the pitch, with stewards involved to pull the players apart as tempers frayed after MGW had a go at the travelling Wolves fans

Wolves' four Premier League wins this season have all come by a single goal  Wolves climbed out of the relegation zone for the first time in three months and dumped West Ham in the bottom three to increase the pressure on manager David Moyes.  

Daniel Podence scored the only goal when he drove home Matheus Nunes' cross three ' after half-time.

Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui punched the air in delight at the final whistle. The former Real Madrid and Spain boss is now responsible for half of Wolves' four league wins this season and would have secured Wolves' most convincing victory had Raul Jimenez's stoppage-time effort not been ruled out for offside.  Julen Lopetegui praises Wolves 'character and commitment'

Jurgen Klopp said he has waited "ages" for Liverpool to win a game with a positive performance, after the Reds booked their place in the FA Cup fourth round with a gutsy victory over Wolves at Molineux.  Harvey Elliott's stunning first-half drive earned Klopp's team their first win since the turn of the year, just three days after a dismal defeat at Brighton in the Premier League.  Wolves applied heavy pressure in the latter stages but the much-changed visitors held on to book a fourth-round meeting with the Seagulls on Sunday, 29 January.  Wolves' improvement under Julen Lopetegui has been clear to see but the home side failed to seriously threaten Caoimhin Kelleher's goal until late on, when Ruben Neves, Raul Jimenez and Matheus Cunha all went close to an equaliser.

Erling Haaland scored his fourth Manchester City hat-trick and took his goal tally for the season to 31 in all competitions as relegation-threated Wolves were swept aside by Pep Guardiola's men.

Lopetegui rued poor first half performance and changed his attack at half time. This was the first significant setback for Julen Lopetegui since he replaced Bruno Lage as Wolves boss during the World Cup.

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui said his side have not achieved anything yet despite boosting their Premier League survival hopes with victory over Liverpool, whose own torrid season continued at Molineux.    The Reds were aiming to avoid losing a third successive Premier League away match for the first time since 2012, but fell behind after just five minutes when Hwang Hee-chan's cross deflected off Joel Matip into the Liverpool net.  It got worse for Jurgen Klopp's side just seven minutes later as poor defending allowed Craig Dawson to mark his debut with a goal, driving in from close range.  The hosts soaked up the second half pressure before hitting their opponents on the counter-attack, Ruben Neves finishing after great work by Adama Traore.   Victory moves Wolves out of the relegation zone up to 15th, while Liverpool remain 10th.

Manor Solomon scored for the third consecutive game as European hopefuls Fulham fought back to claim a hard-fought Premier League draw at home to struggling Wolves.  Solomon's superb curling effort into the right corner rescued a point for the hosts, who generally underwhelmed as they missed the opportunity to move level on points with fifth-placed Newcastle.  Until the Israel international's intervention, Wolves had looked on course to claim a valuable three points courtesy of Pablo Sarabia's sweeping first-half effort.  The Spain winger, who had earlier seen a weak attempt saved by home goalkeeper Bernd Leno, expertly turned in Raul Jimenez's knock down after twice linking with the Mexico international in the build up.   Had Jimenez been able to turn home a second-half header he narrowly glanced wide the game might have proved beyond Marco Silva's side, who barely threatened until the closing stages.  

The result leaves the Cottagers sixth in the table on 39 points, while Wolves remain 15th, four points above the relegation zone.

Both sides are likely to come away from this contest with a tinge of regret, with a point hardly an ideal outcome for sides with disparate ambitions this tem. Matheus Cunha was taken off on a stretcher after lengthy treatment. Jose Sa made some terrific saves too.

Brighton reignited their push for a place in Europe next season by recording their biggest-ever top-flight victory at the expense of woeful Wolves.   

Wolves remain eight points clear of the relegation zone, but manager Julen Lopetegui will be alarmed at the manner of his team's collapse on the south coast.   Nightmare afternoon for Wolves and Lopetegui Lopetegui apologises to Wolves fans after 'very bad day'  When Brighton won 3-2 at Molineux in November - hours after it was announced Lopetegui would replace the sacked Bruno Lage - Wolves were joint-bottom of the Premier League with 10 points from 14 games.   While the improvement since then has been stark, this was by far Wolves' worst performance during the Spaniard's stewardship.  Operating in a 4-3-3 system, the visitors were passive, disjointed and desperately poor in possession - and Brighton took full advantage in a startlingly one-sided first half.  Lopetegui brought on Hwang Hee-chan, Toti and Collins at half-time in an effort to stem the flow of goals, but there was little in the way of a response.  Both Brighton's second-half efforts were appalling from the visitors' perspective, with Collins and Nunes guilty of surrendering possession on the edge of their own box.  It would take an almighty collapse - and a vast improvement from several teams below - for Wolves to get dragged back into the relegation quagmire, but this was a defeat that will leave a sour taste for some time to come.

Manchester United bounced back from consecutive Premier League defeats by beating Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford to strengthen their bid for a top-four finish.  Erik ten Hag's side had lost to Brighton and West Ham to give Liverpool - who were one point behind in fourth at the start of the day - hope of snatching a Champions League spot at their expense.  The visitors rarely threatened as they finished the game without a shot on target.

Manchester United remain fourth but are level on 66 points with Newcastle in third. Wolves, meanwhile, are 13th.

Bentley impresses for already-safe Wolves

Wolves can do better - Lopetegui

Wolves were bottom of the Premier League on Christmas Day, so it is testament to Julen Lopetegui's ability that he had guided them to safety with three games remaining.  Consequently, they spent much of this game playing every bit like a side with nothing to play for as David de Gea finished the game without making a meaningful save.  But the big positive for the visitors was the performance of Bentley in their goal. The former Bristol City shotstopper, who joined the club in January, looked assured on his Wolves and Premier League debut, and made two good saves in the second half to deny Jadon Sancho and Antony.

Everton's fight to avoid the drop into the Championship will go down to the final day of the season despite Yerry Mina snatching a dramatic equaliser deep into stoppage time at Wolves. The Toffees looked on course for a damaging defeat until Mina pounced in a goalmouth scramble in the final seconds of nine minutes of additional time to give Sean Dyche's side what might prove to be a priceless point.  Wolves went ahead in a scrappy encounter after 34 minutes when Hwang Hee-Chan scored from a rebound after Everton keeper Jordan Pickford had pushed out Adama Traore's shot.   Committed Wolves 'deserved to win' - Lopetegui Julen Lopetegui can reflect with satisfaction on his early months at Wolves after he succeeded the sacked Bruno Lage.  The Spaniard took the acclaim of the Wolves fans at the conclusion of their final home game of the season, even though it was tinged with disappointment after Mina's late leveller deprived them of a win.  In the 88'  Boubacar Traoré replaced Rúben Neves who left to a standing ovation.

Arsenal recorded a thumping win against Wolverhampton It was a disappointing conclusion for Wolves, who finish 13th.  With boss Julen Lopetegui's future at the club in doubt, the former Spain and Real Madrid boss spent most of his afternoon looking on grimly from the stands as he served a one-game touchline ban.  They showed little of the organisation and discipline that Lopetegui had instilled in them to guide them to safety after being appointed when they were bottom of the table in November.  And their afternoon got even worse when goalkeeper Jose Sa fumbled Jakub Kiwior's instinctive effort into his own net in the closing stages to gift Arsenal a fifth goal.
