Tottenham missed the chance to go top of the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/premier-league-clubs-give-nod-to-measures-for-tackling-rise-in-tragedy-related-chanting-23292412" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Premier League</a> as Wolves struck twice in stoppage time to snatch a dramatic 2-1 win on Saturday.&nbsp;
Brennan Johnson&rsquo;s first Spurs goal looked set to send Ange Postecoglou&rsquo;s under-strength side back above <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/haalands-brace-v-young-boys-powers-man-city-to-last-16-23318995" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Manchester City</a>. But after being wasteful for the first 90 minutes, Wolves found their shooting boots in added time.&nbsp;

Substitute Pablo Sarabia smashed home the equaliser before Mario Lemina steered in the winner. Spurs have now suffered back-to-back defeats after losing for the first time in the league under Postecoglou on Monday when Chelsea emerged from north London 4-1 victors. There were also longer lasting consequences for Spurs from defeat to Chelsea as influential summer signings Micky van de Ven and James Maddison were ruled out with injury until the new year.&nbsp;

However, there were no signs of a hangover early on as Postecoglou&rsquo;s men made a perfect start. Pedro Porro&rsquo;s low cross picked out Johnson at the near post and the Welshman prodded in his first goal since a GBP 47.5 million move from Nottingham Forest. That was potent as the Tottenham attack were all game as the visitors were eventually made to pay for relying on a makeshift defence.&nbsp;
Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie were also suspended after being sent-off against Chelsea, leaving Porro as the only regular starter in the Spurs back four. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was again one of Tottenham&rsquo;s top performers as he flew low to his right to turn Lemina&rsquo;s powerful shot behind.&nbsp;
<h2>Never an underdog feeling: Pochettino</h2>
Mauricio Pochettino said it is &ldquo;impossible&rdquo; for Chelsea to think of themselves as underdogs as he prepares for the daunting task of facing Premier League champions Manchester City.&nbsp;
Tenth-place Chelsea have a terrible recent record against City&mdash;losing the past six games in all competitions without scoring a single goal. But, they go into Sunday&rsquo;s match boosted by a dramatic 4-1 victory earlier this week.&nbsp;
