Tottenham Hotspur made it two wins from two this season as they beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 at Molineux this afternoon.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s men beat Manchester City 1-0 last weekend, and he got the same result on his first return to former club Wolves.
An early penalty was enough to claim all three points, with Dele Alli scoring from the spot having been fouled by goalkeeper Jose Sa.
Alli sent Sa the wrong way to give Tottenham the lead, and that clinched the win for a Spurs side who had to stand firm against Wolves pressure.
Adama Traore was a menace throughout as Wolves racked up a ridiculous 25 shots, but they couldn’t beat the Tottenham defence.
One of the keys to Tottenham’s win was Davinson Sanchez, who seems to be salvaging his Tottenham career under Nuno.
The Colombian centre back struggled last term and many expected him to leave, but he was strong against Manchester City and impressed again today.
Sanchez six clearances and one successful aerial duel, whilst he also blocked four shots in a fine rearguard action.
Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to praise Sanchez, suggesting that he has turned his career around and looks like a new player with the guidance of Nuno.
Some feel Nuno has already transformed Sanchez into a reliable defender, with fans callin him ‘top notch’ and ‘exceptional’.
