00:00 Looking at another game week of Premier League action, we'll start at the Molineux.

00:08 A fantastic early kick-off on Saturday between Wolves and Spurs.

00:13 Obviously Spurs coming into it only losing one game so far this season.

00:17 Flying with Ange Postacoglou but injury-ridden.

00:20 And our Birmingham World reporter Charlie Haffenden was there

00:23 to watch the final-minute drama at the Molineux.

00:27 Wolves 2, Tottenham Hotspur 1. A dramatic late win here at Molineux Stadium for Gary O'Neill's men.

00:33 It was 1-0 to Tottenham in the 90th minute but Wolves had other ideas.

00:37 Pablo Sarabia coming off the bench in the 87th and getting a goal and an assist in 10 minutes worth of action.

00:43 A real party atmosphere here but it could have been very different actually.

00:46 Tottenham defended well for most parts.

00:48 A big period to the second half, Wolves were kept fairly quiet.

00:51 It was just right at the end that Tottenham started to tire a bit.

00:54 The fresh legs of Wolves, especially Sarabia, making a difference.

00:57 Thanks Charlie.

00:59 Obviously, as you mentioned ahead, a crazy turnaround from Wolves.

01:02 I think a fair result probably would have been a point.

01:05 But just looking at Spurs, Dan, I personally believe that Jung-Min Son,

01:10 when he has a player around him, is untouchable.

01:13 One of the best players in world football.

01:15 But without the likes of Kane taken out the side, Madison now injured.

01:21 Can Son reach those heights by himself?

01:25 Because we've not really seen him.

01:26 For him to be compared to some of the greats, for example Aguero, when he would do it,

01:31 he didn't need someone around him to produce these moments.

01:34 It looks like Jung-Min Son sort of does.

01:36 Yeah, I think that's a good point.

01:39 Certainly him and Kane, when they were together, had that fantastic partnership.

01:43 Obviously Spurs have since improved since the departure of Harry Kane.

01:48 So I don't think you necessarily put it down to just being a singular person,

01:52 it being Harry Kane, because Spurs have been better.

01:55 So I think it's just that he needs someone next to him.

01:57 Obviously this season it's been James Madison.

01:59 Now Madison's out injured for the moment.

02:02 So yeah, Jung-Min Son is a very good player.

02:06 There's no dispute in that whatsoever.

02:08 But he needs someone around him just to make him shine.

02:10 And looking at a team now, it's a fifth in the away Premier League table

02:15 for their record on the road.

02:17 Everton.

02:18 I spoke to Will Rooney of Liverpool World to get his take

02:22 following their fantastic display on the road at Crystal Palace.

02:26 Shaun's actually said that he doesn't think it's just the away form.

02:29 He thinks that Everton haven't had a result to go through at home.

02:32 At times this season you think back to those games against Fulham and Wolves

02:36 and even the first half an hour against Luton, where they got beaten.

02:41 Shaun's saying the performance has been better.

02:43 But I just think away from home it suits Everton a little bit more

02:46 to be on the back foot, allow the other team to have possession

02:51 and really hit teams on the counter-attack.

02:53 It shows that the form is turning really for Everton.

02:57 If they get the home and their away form right

02:59 then they're going to be a side who are looking up rather than down.

03:03 down.
