Tottenham beat Wolves for 1st Premier League win in 2026
What's the story
Tottenham Hotspur secured their first Premier League win of 2026 with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium. Matchweek 34 saw Joao Palhinha scored the decisive goal in the dying minutes of the match, giving Spurs a much-needed lifeline in their quest for survival. The win came despite injuries to key players Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons during the match.
Complications
Tottenham remain 2 points behind West Ham
The win at Molineux was even more important for Tottenham as they remained two points behind West Ham United in the Premier League standings. Everton's equalizer against West Ham briefly lifted Roberto De Zerbi's team out of the relegation zone. However, Callum Wilson's late winner for the Hammers somewhat muted their celebrations, further complicating Spurs's quest for survival in the league.
