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.

Ait-Nouri chops back on the left-hand side to leave Porro dumbfounded, and the Spurs right-back scythes him down. He's lucky to avoid a booking, but Spurs do have a wide free-kick to defend.

Another terrible corner – this one from Ait-Nouri – is smashed clear by Sarr. The ball is back with Wolves, however, and they will look to keep the pressure on.

Wolves win a corner on the right as Semedo's low cross comes off Davies before dribbling behind, with Vicario failing to keep it in play. Can they make this set-piece count?

The shot count is now 13 to three in Wolves' favour, and the hosts' efforts have also totalled 1.05 xG to Spurs' 0.46. O'Neil's team have been excellent… until it comes to taking their chances!

Now Spurs come forward as Kulusevski cuts inside in menacing fashion, but Dawson tracks back well to block his curling effort. This game is so open now!

HOW HAS HE MISSED?! Wolves win a corner on the right-hand side, and Ait-Nouri's low delivery is only cleared as far as Gomes. He crashes a shot against a navy shirt and it drops kindly for Hwang, who is unmarked just to the right of goal, but his poor finish fails to test Vicario. Wolves should be level, at least!

GREAT CHANCE! How many of these are Wolves going to squander?! Toti does brilliantly to bring the ball out of defence, playing a give-and-go with Gomes before finding Ait-Nouri to his left. His cutback is taken in by Cunha on the edge of the box, but he sends an awkward finish wide of Vicario's goal!

Cunha breaks into the Spurs box with another mazy run, but he tries to beat one man too many and Dier takes the ball away from him. Wolves fail to make anything of another positive position.

Son goes down holding his face after a collision with Dawson, but the referee shows no interest whatsoever and Wolves can break at speed…

Looking at the average positions taken up by the Wolves players so far, only Dawson, Kilman and Toti have spent the majority of their time inside their own half. The hosts have certainly taken a positive approach, but their decision-making in the final third has been poor.
