Tottenham player ratings vs Wolves: One man gets 5/10 as Kulusevki shines again | Football | Sport




Tottenham missed the chance to reduce the pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou after conceding late on in a 2-2 draw with Wolves . Spurs fans would have feared the worst when Hee-Chan Hwang put Wolves ahead after seven minutes with a crisp finish.

The hosts hit back immediately as Rodrigo Bentancur headed in from Pedro Porro’s corner, before Son Heung-min was denied from the penalty spot. Then in first-half injury time Dejan Kulusevski superbly set up Brennan Johnson to score.

The final stages were nervy though as the hosts sat deep. And with three minutes left, Jorgen Strand Larsen blasted past Fraser Forster to earn the visitors a point.

Express Sport brings you the Spurs player ratings below...

Tottenham player ratings vs Wolves (4-2-3-1)

Fraser Forster 6

Worryingly went down with an injury in the first half, but duly recovered. Could do little about the first goal but seemed to simply wave his hand at Strand Larsen's powerful late effort.

Pedro Porro 8

Excelled in attack. Got forward regularly, created the first goal, and his crosses and corners caused constant problems. A brilliant block in the second half too to deny Rayan Ait-Nouri.

Radu Dragusin 6

Still doesn't convince in Ange Postecoglou's system. Should have scored in the first half from one Porro corner but headed wide from point blank range.

Archie Gray 7

It will never be his favoured position but he's growing into it. Looked solid and assured on the ball.

Destiny Udogie 6

Limped off after 50 minutes with a hamstring injury as Postecoglou's injury crisis deepens.

Rodrigo Bentancur 8

How Spurs have missed him. Headed home for the equaliser and was back in the box to crucially cut out one ball in the second half. Work rate impressive given his recent lack of action.

Yves Bissouma 6

Blasted one chance high and wide in the first half and struggled to impose himself. Taken off after the hour mark.

Brennan Johnson 7

Won the penalty and took his goal well. Movement again impressive and was unlucky to be taken off early.

Dejan Kulusevski 9

How Postecoglou needs him right now. His side's most threatening player by far, teeing up Johnson for his goal and created a late chance for Pape Sarr to win it.

Son Heung-min 5

Are his days in the Premier League numbered? Again off the pace and another poor display was compounded by seeing his tame penalty saved.

Dominic Solanke5

Not his day. Comically collided with Bissouma in the first half and would have been relieved when the offside flag went up anyway.

Subs:

Sergio Reguilon (for Udogie, 50) 6

Tried to get forward and add impetus after coming on.

James Maddison (for Johnson, 64) 7

Baffling why he didn't start. Good on the ball although Spurs sitting deep late on didn't suit him.

Pape Sarr (for Bissouma, 64) 6

One brilliant run forward came to nothing but looked too frantic in the closing stages.

Timo Werner (for Son, 64) 6

Showed energy and a brilliant run and cross on the left so nearly set up Solanke to score. But then wasted one last-ditch attack with a poor ball.
