Tottenham broke a three‑month winless streak in the Premier League, edging Wolves 1-0 at Molineux on Saturday. A late save from young keeper Antonin Kinsky kept the clean sheet, while the visitors’ defence held firm despite Wolves’ pressure. The victory lifts Spurs to 17th place, three points above the drop zone with six games remaining.

Manager Ange De Zerbi earned his first win in charge after defeats to Sunderland and a draw with Brighton. He praised the side’s mental shift, saying the result must change their mindset ahead of the crucial clash with Aston Villa. However, injuries to Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons cast doubt on squad depth for the upcoming fixture. His reflexes on the line have become a rallying point for the squad.

Palhinha, who scored the late leveller against Wolves in September, hailed Kinsky’s final‑minute stop as the difference‑maker. The win injects much‑needed momentum, but Spurs cannot afford further setbacks; they sit just two points clear of the 18th spot. A positive result against Villa could secure survival, but the team must maintain concentration and fitness to clinch the remaining points.
