Late Palhina Goal Cancel Tolu Arokodare’s Wolves First League Win

Newly signed Super Eagles forward, Tolu Arokodare was helpless as his new side remains winless in the English Premier League 2025/2026 season.

Wolverhampton Wanderers avoided becoming the fourth club in history to lose each of their opening six games of a Premier League season, yet suffered late heartbreak as Tottenham Hotspur scored to snatch a 1-1 draw deep into stoppage time.

Looking to build on a promising start that has delivered 10 points from their first five league games, Spurs were dominant throughout the first period.

It was another switch which seemed to have paid off for Wolves as Santi Bueno, moved across to the right side of the back three put his side ahead just 10 minutes after the break.

Wolves were in complete control going into the final minutes of the contest, with Spurs limited to shots from distance. Home skipper Cristian Romero and Palhinha both fired harmlessly over from 25 yards out without troubling Johnstone.

Having not dealt with an initial cross into the box, the ball found its way back out to Palhinha on the edge of the penalty area and after taking a touch to control, his second saw him guide the ball inside the far post with Johnstone beaten at full stretch.
