The Joe Edwards debrief – Tottenham 2 Wolves 3

It was a triumph of huge significance for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, with a perfect blend of ability and desire seeing them through.

Never-say-die attitude

And let’s talk about the resilience Wolves displayed.

After all, from a defensive point of view, at least, the first half was fairly poor.

Nuno’s lot struggled to get to grips with the pace offered by both Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura, and being 2-1 down at the break was fair.

However, they carried out their work with vigour in the second period and when the high-pressure moments arrived, they thrived.

Take Raul Jimenez’s winner as the best example of that.

By his standards, it was a quiet game, but when presented the opportunity to score he took it emphatically.

When receiving the ball from Diogo Jota, who had also danced his way past Lucas before driving 40 yards up the pitch, the Mexican could have easily taken the shot with his stronger right foot.

In fact, most centre forwards would have done that.

But Jimenez, sensing Japhet Tanganga was chasing him down, expertly shifted the ball on to his left foot and curled it beyond Paulo Gazzaniga – leaving Tanganga on his backside in the process.

A finish that made your body tingle and bring on a beaming smile.

It will not be forgotten any time soon.

That winner, as well, means Wolves have accrued 21 points from losing positions – the most of anybody in the top flight.

Whichever way you look at it – good or bad – that is incredible.

Yes, it would be nice to see Wolves not fall behind so much, but wins like this feel ever so special. Ultimately, they never throw in the towel.

Such relentlessness, as Nuno called it, is the mark of a top team.

Diogo and Doc

Talk about two players being at the top of their respective games.

Jota and Matt Doherty were sublime at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Doherty, who would have found scoring against them extra sweet as an Arsenal fan, is a force to be reckoned with in front of goal – now on seven goals for the season in all competitions.

He has a striker’s instinct, knowing where to be. The timing of his runs are top drawer.

There is no other wing-back like him – in the Premier League, and perhaps even the world – in terms of offering a genuine goal threat, in every game.

And when Jota is fully confident, there is no stopping him.

He has netted six in his last three, and when he is racing up the pitch with the ball at his feet, he is a sheer delight to watch.

Both so talented, and so unique. They are brilliant.

Traore’s trouble

The one blot on a fantastic day for Wolves was that Adama Traore dislocated his shoulder again.

Having done it three times this term now, it cannot be considered a coincidence.

There clearly is an issue with the joint and with every dislocation – no matter whether it is partial or not – comes more damage to the shoulder.

You would think surgery in the summer is a likely option, but Traore could well be representing Spain in the Euros then if he continues to play through the pain barrier. One to keep an eye on.

A kind run

While they also have a Europa League last-16 double-header against Olympiacos to navigate, Wolves’ next four fixtures in the league look good.

Brighton, West Ham, Bournemouth and Villa – none pushovers, but all very much beatable.

It is a favourable run, which hopefully they will make the most of.
