- Wolves vs Tottenham ended in a thrilling 2-1 win for Mourinho's men
- Lucas Moura scored in consecutive Premier League games for the first time since August 2018 as he gave Tottenham an early lead
- His goal was cancelled out by Adama Traore in the second half who levelled matters for Wolves
- But Jan Vertonghen powerfully nodded home Christian Eriksen's corner in the 91st minute to give Tottenham all three points
Lucas Moura scored in consecutive Premier League games for the first time since August 2018 on Sunday, December 15, after netting an early strike to give Tottenham the lead in his side's 2-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux stadium.
The Brazilian, who was on the score sheet in Tottenham's 5-0 win against Burnley last weekend, made it two goals in two games in the 8th minute as he ran at goal from the right, beating a number of Wolves defenders to lash a fierce shot into the roof of the net.
And despite Tottenham going into the break with the lead, Wolves returned the stronger side, as they got their much-deserved equaliser in the 67th minute as Adama Traore found space outside the area before launching a powerful shot beyond Gazzaniga in goal for Tottenham.
With five minutes left, Gazzaniga produced a brilliant save in his near post to deny Saiss what could have been the winner for Wolves.
Jose Mourinho was forced to make his first change of the game in the 88th minute as he introduced Christain Eriksen into the fold in place of Lucas Moura.
His change would go on to pay off as Wolves were punished for their earlier miss in the 91st minute.

Jan Vertonghen found space at the back post to powerfully head home Christian Eriksen's corner and give Tottenham all three points.
The victory takes Tottenham to fifth on the Premier League table on 26 points, three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea while Wolves drop to 8th on the table.
