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.

Spurs are still employing an extremely high line, despite their selection problems. Hwang springs the offside trap before an awkward bounce of the ball allows Davies to challenge him, and though the home fans want a foul, the referee shakes his head.

Porro is back to his feet after receiving treatment and will re-enter the action shortly. He is the only member of Postecoglou's first-choice back four available here, so Spurs couldn't afford to lose him.

Porro goes down after being caught by Gomes, screaming in pain before writhing around on the turf. The Wolves man clipped his heel, and the Spurs right-back needs treatment.

Ait-Nouri beats two on a wonderful run, turning Hojbjerg inside-out with a fantastic spin. He lays it off to Cunha, who hammers a shot into a crowd of navy shirts. Wolves are on top at present, but they're struggling to carve out a clear opening.

Another terrible corner from Bellegarde is headed clear by Porro at the near post. That's two for the Frenchman already, who has replaced Doyle on set-piece duties for this one.

Gomes finds Hwang running in behind with a lovely throughball. The South Korean is forced wide but holds it up for Bellegarde, who just overdoes it by offloading to Cunha. The hosts eventually win a corner on their left-hand side, however.

Postecoglou hasn't lost consecutive league games as a manager since he was with Yokohama F. Marinos in the Japanese J1 League, losing three in a row in that competition between November 2020 and February 2021. His team made a flying start to their bid to get back to winning ways.

Lemina is back on his feet and looks okay to continue. This game has been played at a high tempo so far – Wolves started terribly but have had their tails up in the last few minutes, putting Spurs' makeshift defence under pressure.

There's a concerning moment for O'Neil, with Lemina staying down after being caught late by Hojbjerg's sliding challenge. The medical team are on to tend to the midfielder.

Porro clears Bellegarde's corner at the near post, but Gomes recovers possession and Wolves keep the pressure on. Bellegarde beats Porro with ease to reach the byline before crossing, but Emerson Royal is there with a vital defensive header inside his own six-yard box.
