The Australian coach may have been fearing the worst when Hwang Hee-chan's seventh-minute opener fired Wolves ahead, only for Rodrigo Bentancur to level with a header from Pedro Porro's corner five minutes later.

Son Heung-min then saw a 43rd-minute penalty saved by Jose Sa, but Brennan Johnson, who won the spot-kick after a foul by Andre, edged the hosts into the lead in a chaotic ending to the first half.

Johnson linked up well with Dejan Kulusevski for his close-range finish, though the Sweden winger's late miss proved costly as Santiago Bueno cleared on the line at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Larsen, who was introduced at half-time for in-form Matheus Cunha and seemed to have suffered a knee injury, then latched onto Rayan Ait-Nouri's pass before firing past Fraser Forster to snatch a point with just three minutes remaining.

A third straight league outing without victory leaves Tottenham 11th on the table, while 17th-placed Wolves are two points clear of Leicester City and the bottom three.
