Analysis: Emotional rollercoaster for Spurs

There is fight in this Tottenham side.

In the first half, there was little quality, urgency and courage on show but Spurs managed to grind out their first win under Roberto de Zerbi just as it looked like all was lost.

Nottingham Forest’s thumping 5-0 win at Sunderland on Friday piled the pressure on De Zerbi’s side, leaving them eight points behind one of their relegation rivals.

West Ham’s thrilling finish against Everton – where the Hammers conceded late before Callum Wilson’s injury time winner – also put Spurs fans through an emotional rollercoaster.

Before Joao Palhinha prodded in from close range, Spurs looked set to finish the day four points from safety with four games left.

Not long after, following Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's leveller for Everton, they were out of the bottom three – only to drop back in with the late drama at the London Stadium.

There will be more twists in the final four games – Spurs' fixtures against Aston Villa, Leeds, Chelsea and Everton – but Tottenham are clinging on.

They were poor and struggled to break down an already relegated Wolves side and relied on a scrappy goal from a corner but that was all they needed.

Tottenham kept going but they will need more bravery if they are going to save themselves.
