On a rainy afternoon at Molineux Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur's Lucas Moura produced a moment of magic to seal a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on December 15, 2019.

Jose Mourinho's side got off to a flying start when Moura drifted past several Wolves defenders and smashed in a fierce right-footed shot in the eighth minute, leaving goalkeeper Rui Patricio with no chance.

Wolves responded in emphatic fashion in the 67th minute when Adama Traore fired in from distance for his fourth league goal of the campaign, but Tottenham held on for the win.

Jan Vertonghen popped up for the winning goal in the first minute of stoppage time with a fine header from a corner, sealing all three points for the visitors and snapping Wolves' 11-game unbeaten run in the competition.

Spurs could have doubled their advantage earlier, but Eric Dier dragged a shot wide from close range and only managed to hit the outside of the post after Patricio had failed to clear his lines.
