Brennan Johnson Scores First Tottenham Goal In Dramatic Loss At Wolves

Brennan Johnson scored the first goal of his Tottenham Hotspur career on Saturday but it came in a losing cause at Wolves.

Johnson, a summer signing from Nottingham Forest, fired home from a Pedro Porro cross to give his side the lead inside the opening three minutes at Molineux Stadium.

Spurs held that lead until beyond the 90-minute mark, despite fielding a patched-up defense without Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven or Destiny Udogie.

But Wolves, inspired by super-sub Pablo Sarabia, then scored two goals in added time.

Sarabia scored the equalizer himself with a stunning two-touch finish following a chipped through pass from Matheus Cunha.

The former Paris Saint-Germain forward then assisted Mario Lemina for the winning goal in the 97th minute.

Sarabia had only entered the action in the 87th minute. No player in Premier League history had ever scored and assisted after being introduced so late into a game.

Tottenham have now lost back-to-back games in the Premier League, after being unbeaten in their opening 10 matches under Ange Postecoglou.

Speaking to BBC Sport after Saturday's defeat, Postecoglou said: "I cannot question the effort and the commitment. In the first-half we scored a good goal and then played a bit conservatively.

"I did not think we were as positive as we could be, the second-half was a bit better but there is a lot of players having their first start and we were never going to get the same fluency."

Highlights: Wolves 2-1 Tottenham
