Wolves picked up their first point of the season against Tottenham Hotspur, and Gary O’Neil issued his former club with a warning after the game.
Vitor Pereira came agonisingly close to picking up his first Premier League win of the season.
Santiago Bueno put Wolves 1-0 up early in the second-half, and Wolves then got to injury-time still leading.
But in the 94th minute, Joao Palhinha scored to break Wolves’ hearts. There was nothing Sam Johnstone, who had been really solid again, could do.
It was a tough thing to stomach for the players, and Pereira’s disappointment at the end was palpable.
But the manager must dust himself and his players down and get ready to go again, with Brighton up next for Wolves at Molineux.
Wolves need to get points on the board, with O’Neil making a good point after last night’s game.

Gary O’Neil warns Wolves and West Ham about newly promoted Premier League teams
Wolves can take heart from the performance against Spurs.
Vitor Pereira has put the recent improvements down to spending more time working together, which wasn’t possible for the first few weeks of the season after new faces arrived late.
Now, fans are hoping to see Wolves continue improving – but ultimately these improvements need to translate to points.
Last night on Sky Sports, former Molineux head coach Gary O’Neil was speaking about Wolves’ current position.
And he pointed to how good the newly promoted sides have looked so far this term, believing that to be a concern for the likes of Wolves and West Ham.
He said: “It’s definitely a step in the right direction.
“The concerning thing at the moment for teams like Wolves and West Ham, is how well some of the newly promoted teams have done.
“We’ve seen Sunderland, we’ve seen Leeds, and I don’t think the points tallies are going to be as low as they were last year for being down the bottom of the table.
“I think you’re going to need a lot more points (to stay up).
“What you’ve seen from the boys that have come up is that they mean business this year – I don’t think we’ll see the three that have come up go back down again.
“So Wolves, as well as performances, and as well as the other teams, the West Hams and the Aston Villas and people like that, they need to put points as well as performances in the board.”
O’Neil also said he’d love to see Wolves kick on after the draw with Tottenham, confirming he has no ill feeling whatsoever about his sacking last December.
A very valid concern
The way Sunderland and Leeds have started is certainly a worry from a Wolves perspective. And even Burnley have got four points on the board.
These are the sides many presumed would be fighting against relegation. That of course could still happen.

But Sunderland and Leeds spent a lot of money which in itself show that they are ready to have a real go this season. And that spending has put both sides in good positions early doors.
Wolves did also spend a lot this summer. But the club also let a lot of Premier League-proven players and game-changers leave, which could be costly.
