Spurs, who made their Champions League debut with a draw against Werder Bremen on Tuesday, looked to be suffering a European hangover as Steven Fletcher put Wolves ahead just before halftime.

But the home side always looked on top and deserved the points from their late onslaught.

Everton lost at home in the league for the first time since November as a superb 45th-minute strike by Hartem Ben Arfa gave Newcastle United a 1-0 win and left the hosts second-to-bottom with two points from five games.

Birmingham City’s unbeaten start to the season ended at The Hawthorns as West Bromwich Albion came from 1-0 down at halftime with three goals in 10 minutes to win 3-1, while Aston Villa against Bolton Wanderers, Blackburn Rovers v Fulham and Stoke City against West Ham United all ended 1-1.

Arsenal visit Sunderland later on Saturday while the big game of the weekend is at Old Trafford on Sunday when Manchester United play Liverpool, with Chelsea also in action at home to Blackpool.
