Harry Kane rediscovered his scoring touch ahead of the north London derby as Tottenham squeezed into round four of the Carabao Cup by beating Wolves on penalties.
Tanguy Ndombele and Kane put Spurs 2-0 up inside 24 minutes but Leander Dendoncker pulled one back before half-time and Daniel Podence equalised just before the hour mark.
Both sides wasted chances to win it and Ruben Neves hit the bar with a deflected strike with only two minutes remaining. Then Neves was one of three Wolves players to miss as Tottenham took the shoot-out 3-2, with Kane scoring their first kick as Nuno Espirito Santo made a second successful return to his former club after winning 1-0 here in the League last month.
