Wolverhampton Wanderers Vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Spurs Leave It Late In 2-0 Win

Wolverhampton Wanderers aren't the easiest nut to crack and Tottenham Hotspur made some heavy going of it at Molineux for most of the match. The first half saw the Champions League aspirants in shocking form, with the notable exception of new midfield acquisition Scott Parker, whose status as a galactic superhero prevents him from such trifling matters as 'having a bad game'. The rest of the team, though... yeah, it wasn't good. Fortunately for Spurs, Wolves weren't doing much going forward, which meant that halftime arrived with the score at 0-0 and every chance for the visitors to turn things around.

Turn things around they did, switching Gareth Bale and NIko Krancjar back to their usual positions. Suddenly Spurs looked competent, and it came as no surprise when Parker set up Emmanuel Adebayor for a goal on the latter's debut. Jermain Defoe made sure of things in the 80th minute, and Tottenham were able to relax a little bit as they enjoyed their first points of the 2011/12 season. Things are a little easier when you're not playing Manchester sides, as it turns out.
