The referee blows the final whistle, and Spurs deny Wolves a first Premier League win of the season.
Joao Palhinha's curler at the end of the game saves Spurs from what would have been a pretty shocking home defeat.
The visitors turned in a strong performance and it looked as if Santiago Bueno's goal was going to be enough, but that wait for three points goes on.
At least they've finally picked a point, though.

HEARTBREAK FOR WOLVES!
With time running out, a hopeful cross is slung into the box.
Pape Mate Sarr lays it off to Joao Palhinha.
The midfielder curls a first-time effort from the edge of the box into the back of the net.

WOLVES HAVE THE LEAD!
It is as scrappy as they come, but the visitors won't care at all.
Ladislav Krejici connects with an outswinging corner from Jhon Arias.
Guglielmo Vicario pushes it into Joao Palhinha, and it rebounds for Santiago Bueno.
He sticks out a leg and pokes the ball over the line.

What an opportunity!
Matt Doherty should have a goal on his return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
A corner is whipped in from the left, and it's an excellent delivery that is glanced onto the far post.
Doherty is free and has all the time in the world from six yards.
He then fires in a shot that clips the outside of the post and goes wide, and that is half time.

Mohammed Kudus thinks he has his first Tottenham goal, but the flag denies him.
It's a lovely one-two down the right as Kudus combines with Lucas Bergvall.
The Swede guides the ball into his path, and he tucks it away into the top corner from a narrow angle.
However, the flag goes up, and he was clearly offside.

Boos at the end of the game for Nottingham Forest as they fall to a 1-0 defeat at the City Ground.
It is now five games for Ange Postecoglou and no wins for the Australian.
Omar Alderte scores the winner with a first-half header, and the Black Cats are enjoying an excellent start to the season.
They are now third in the table!
Fair to play Regis Le Bris and his team.

IT'S A BAD START FOR ANGE!
Granit Xhaka delivers a free-kick from the right.
It's a brilliant ball into the box, and the centre-back Omar Alderte gets away from everyone.
Alderte connects with a header that deflects in off Matz Sels.
There is a VAR check for offside, but it's given!

After three defeats in four, Chelsea's co-controlling owners Behdad Eghbali and sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, plus Joe Shields and Sam Jewell went straight to the dressing room.
Matt Law is reporting that the senior Blues staff members wasted no time in leaving their positions in the stands to go and persuambly speak to Enzo Maresca and the players.
It happened so quickly that the Brighton players were still on the pitch celebrating.
It has been a bad few weeks for Maresca and the Blues with ill-discipline costing them big time.
Next up is Jose Mourinho and Benfica before Liverpool, so things could get worse before they get better.

Finally, after four games as manager, Ange Postecoglou takes charge of his first home match as Nottingham Forest manager.
The Australian is still looking for his first win, but the Black Cats have proven very difficult to beat.
They have only lost one league game so far and secured a respectable 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace in their last away fixture.
We are just over five minutes in at the City Ground, and Sunderland have had the best chance of the game.
It's a mess at the back that ends with Wilson Isidor firing just wide from 14 yards.

Wow, what an afternoon of Premier League football.
Goals and carnage everywhere.
At Selhurst Park, it was a stunning afternoon for Crystal Palace as they beat Liverpool 2-1 thanks to a last-minute Eddie Nketiah winner.
At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea ended another match down to ten men as Trevoh Chalobah was sent off.
The Blues were leading 1-0 at that point, but that changed the game, and Danny Welbeck scored twice as the Seagulls claimed a 3-1 win.
Manchester City thrashed Burnley 5-1 at the Etihad, though, the two late Erling Haaland goals added some gloss to the scoreline after a valiant performance from the visitors.
And at Elland Road, there was a cracking 2-2 draw between Bournemouth and Leeds

ABSOLUTE SCENES!
Crystal Palace have won it!
A ball is worked into the box, and Marc Guehi flicks it on.
Eddie Nketiah, who has struggled hugely since his big-money move from Arsenal, brings it down on his chest.
He watches it onto his foot and buries a strike into the back of the net.
There is a VAR check for offside, but Nketiah is just on, and the Eagles have ended Liverpool's 100 per cent start to the season.

THE REDS ARE LEVEL!
Federico Chiesa continues to impress for Liverpool this season, and he has a vital goal.
The cross comes in from the right, and Chris Richards heads only as far as the Italian.
He fires in at the near post.
There is a long VAR check for a Mohamed Salah handball, and the ball does appear to change direction, but they decide to let the goal stand.
Game on!

WELL, THE NON-PENALTY MEANT NOTHING!
Yasin Ayari delivers a delightful cross to the far post.
It's headed back across goal, and they are queuing up at the back post.
It's the substitute De Cyuper, and he heads home from six yards.

Wow, VAR have concluded there is no conclusive evidence that there was contact.
The Brighton bench can't believe it as Yankuba Minteh comes back on.
There are 11 added minutes indicated, plenty of time for someone to get a winner...

We have a potential penalty at Stamford Bridge for Brighton!
Yankuba Minteh has been kicked in the head by Malo Gusto in the box.
And while he's down, a few Chelsea players and Brighton players have to be broken up.
Lewis Dunk is heavily involved, and the referee needs to step in!

Oh no, there it is for Florian Wirtz, the infamous 007.
Seven games in the competitive season, no goals and no assists.
The German should have certainly scored today, but he hasn't, and Jeremie Frimpong is on.

THERE IS THE EQUALISER!
It's brilliant play down the left from Yankuba Minteh.
He bursts past Malo Gusto and delivers a stunning cross.
It is begging to be put away, and Danny Welbeck obliges.
Level at Stamford Bridge!

IT'S ANOTHER OWN GOAL!
Maxime Esteve now has two in the own goals in the game, meaning he joins an elite club of players to do the same.
In fairness, he is very unfortunate.
Oscar Bobb hits in a shot that clips Esteve and flies into the net.

FINALLY, THE HOSTS HAVE THE LEAD!
It's a lovely goal as the ball is clipped to the far post.

WHAT A BANGER!
Sean Longstaff opens his account for Leeds with a stunning strike.
The midfielder had a reputation for scoring goals at Newcastle United, and he's slammed the home side into the lead here.
The ball drops to him on the far side of the box, and he strikes a half-volley that smacks the inside of the post and nestles in the back of the net.

What a start to the second half for Chelsea, in the entire wrong way!
Trevoh Chalobah has been sent off!
It's a terrible defensive error from Andrey Santos as he loses the ball high up the field.
Diego Gomez is in, and Trevoh Chalobah brings him down.
It's a very long VAR check, but the end result is that he's been sent off!
That is two reds in two games.
Meanwhile, Reece James also goes down, and needs some attention.

Ismaila Sarr has scored the only goal of the game, but the Eagles have been all over Arne Slot's men.
Chelsea are 1-0 up against Brighton thanks to Enzo Fernandez's goal.
Leeds and Bournemouth are playing out a 1-1 draw.
Antoine Semenyo opened the scoring with a free-kick that went under the wall and over the draft excluder before Joe Rodon equalised with a towering header.
Burnley are making the most of it at the Etihad and are holding Manchester City to a 1-1 draw.
