Premier League Shake-Up As Spurs Claim First 2026 Win While Liverpool, West Ham March On

Spurs secured their first league win since December with a hard-fought triumph at Molineux, though the pressure at the bottom of the table remains intense after West Ham United also claimed a dramatic victory over Everton. Tottenham remain third from bottom, two points adrift of safety with four matches left to play.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi watched his side struggle to convert dominance into goals in a sluggish first half, while injuries to Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons added to concerns. Simons had earlier missed a clear chance after weaving past Matt Doherty, while Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa denied Rodrigo Bentancur with a sharp save.

The breakthrough finally arrived seven minutes from time when Palhinha poked home from close range. Spurs then relied on goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, who produced a superb stoppage-time save to deny Joao Gomes and preserve the win.

At the London Stadium, Callum Wilson came off the bench to score a dramatic stoppage-time winner as West Ham defeated Everton in another major result in the survival race. Tomas Soucek had opened the scoring before Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall equalised late, but Wilson struck in the closing moments to keep the Hammers two points clear of the drop zone.

Meanwhile, Liverpool strengthened their grip on a Champions League place with a victory over Crystal Palace at Anfield. Alexander Isak opened the scoring with a fine effort, while third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman impressed on his league debut with a crucial save from Jean-Philippe Mateta before Andy Robertson added a second after a swift counterattack.

Crystal Palace threatened a comeback through Daniel Munoz and substitute Jorgen Strand Larsen, but Florian Wirtz sealed Liverpool’s third consecutive league win with a stoppage-time goal.
