Raul Jimenez scored the winner for Wolverhampton Wanderers at Tottenham Hotspur for the second season in succession as they came from behind to earn a 3-2 victory.

Spurs took the lead on 13 minutes when Steven Bergwijn pounced on a loose ball to prod home after Dele Alli's initial shot had been saved.

The visitors levelled thanks to Matt Doherty after 27 minutes, only for Spurs to take the lead again through Serge Aurier's superb strike.

Wolves, 3-1 winners at Spurs in 2018/19, equalised again in the 57th minute when Diogo Jota tapped in from Doherty's cross.

The visitors then took the lead for the first time with 17 minutes remaining when Jimenez turned and slotted past goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga to claim all three points.

Wolves move up to sixth on 42 points, three behind fourth-placed Chelsea, with Spurs dropping to seventh on 40 points.
