Kinsky’s stoppage-time save seals Palhinha’s late winner for Spurs at Wolves
Tottenham edge Wolves 1-0 as Palhinha nets a late winner; backup keeper Kinsky's stoppage-time save keeps Spurs' survival bid on track.
Wolverhampton's Molineux Stadium hosted a tense late drama as Tottenham kept their slim survival hopes alive. Joao Palhinha slid home eight minutes from time to convert a decisive chance and put Spurs on course for their first Premier League win of 2026.
But the drama didn’t end there. Spurs' back-up goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky produced a vital stoppage-time save to repel a Wolves threat and preserve the lead under the watchful eye of the home support.
Despite the victory, Spurs remained in the bottom three, two points from safety, highlighting how fine the margins are in this relegation battle.
Wolves, who were hampered by injury concerns around Xavi Simons, pushed to draw level but couldn’t find a way through. The late goal and the late save overshadow the night, underscoring both teams' ongoing struggle this season.
The win gives Spurs a glimmer of optimism as they head into the next fixtures, while Wolves will hope to rebound quickly on home soil.
