Two goals in stoppage time sealed a dramatic victory for Wolves over Tottenham in the Premier League.

Mario Lemina scored in the seventh minute of additional time, sliding the ball into the far side of the net after an expertly timed pass by Pablo Sarabia.

Sarabia had levelled six minutes earlier with a sublime acrobatic finish, volleying home after flicking the ball to himself in the air.

Wolves midfielder Lemina told TNT Sports that they deserved the game.

"It is an amazing feeling. We've been pushing so hard. We deserve this game; we had the best tactic to play against them and we showed it today. I scored the winner and I'm really happy.

"I'm feeling at my best. I'm not getting injured; the fans have supported me. I really love them and the club. I've tried to give back to them. We've been pushing hard, pressing, pressing. The subs did amazing; a good pass from [Matheus] Cunha and what a finish by [Pablo Sarabia].

"We need to think about the international break and the next game, but we are going to enjoy this," Lemina said. 

On his part, speaking to BBC Radio 5, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, speaking said it was disappointing the goals went in late and they had worked hard up until that point.

"We ran out of legs at the end but credit to Wolves they came at us and scored a couple of good goals.

"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," he said.
