The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
Wolverhampton Wanderers produced a late turnaround to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in the early kick-off. Pedro Porro set up Brennan Johnson to tap in from close range just two minutes in and despite the hosts having a shed-load of chances, their wastefulness looked set to see Spurs take the points.
However, Pablo Sarabia whacked in a 90th-minute equaliser, before Mario Lemina slid in a winner six minutes later to send the Molineux fans wild and hand Spurs a second successive league defeat.
Follow the latest reaction from the Premier League below and see the Premier League odds here.

Porro unintentionally keeps the ball in play for Gomes, who picks out Ait-Nouri's run down the left. His cutback is aimed towards Kalajdzic at the back, but Emerson Royal races back to clear it behind for a corner.

Hojbjerg is playing at the base of Spurs' midfield now, behind Lo Celso and Gil. Tottenham are enjoying a little bit more of the ball now – have they weathered the Wolves storm?

MASSIVE CHANCE FOR WOLVES! Another driving Cunha run ends with the Brazilian sliding a pass in behind for Lemina. He could shoot but opts to look for Doherty with a cutback from the left of the six-yard box, and Davies does brilliantly to slide in and clear the danger. That sums up Wolves' efforts in the final third, they have to take those chances!

Spurs have only lost one of their last 27 away league games when leading at half-time (20 wins, six draws) – going down at Manchester City in January. They only have 10 minutes plus stoppage time to navigate now.

Wolves have gone a while without creating a real clear-cut chance, spending plenty of time in possession within Tottenham territory but struggling to produce the final pass. Can they find one last push as we approach the final 10 minutes of the 90?

Brave goalkeeping! Sa races from his line to mop up a loose ball ahead of Kulusevski, who was looking to break in behind. The Wolves shot-stopper stays down holding his face after Kulusevski accidentally caught him with his shin, but he soon gets back to his feet.

CHANCE! Doherty's cross is headed out ahead of Hwang, then Spurs turn defence into attack at lightning speed as Hojbjerg plays a give-and-go with Son. He then looks for Johnson in the middle, who fails to test Sa with a first-time effort from 20 yards out. The Wales forward goes down in the process, perhaps suffering from cramp, but he's soon back to his feet.
