It's not perfect but seven points from three games will do for Antonio Conte. Tottenham Hotspur defeated Wolves 1-0 to kick off Saturday's slate of matches.

A sustained drought for the team could cause the board to look for a change. The simple shift next match will be removing striker Daniel Podence for a now healthy Raul Jimenez but Raul only scored six goals in 34 appearances last season so the crux of the scoring woes looms for Lage. Halftime adjustments, like tweaking the positioning of Emerson Royal and Dejan Kulusevski, left Spurs much improved in the second period, and on balance they deserved the three points they ended up with, but getting there was a process. Son's short corner was flicked on by Perisic and Kane did what he has now done 250 times for the club scoring a goal that would prove to be a winner. With Davidson Sanchez deputizing for an injured Cristian Romero, Royal stayed in the starting lineup at right wing-back to provide coverage for an onrushing Rayan Ait-Nouri along with new signing Goncalo Guedes up top.

We controlled the game in the first half and created chances but in the end we go without any points. It looks like the same beginning that we had in our first season the feeling is the same.

Who seriously thinks he isn't one of the very best we've ever seen in terms of strikers?

Raul Jimenez is back on the bench after his recent injury, while Joao Moutinho is back and starts. Oliver Skipp remains out with a lower leg injury, while Clement Lenglet is back on the bench after an adductor issue. For Wolves, well, it’s the same old story as Jose Sa’s penalty save grabbed them a point at home against Fulham last time out. They did that with minimum fuss against an attack-minded Southampton on the opening day of the season, so let’s see how they cope against a solid, stubborn team who will sit back and defend deep. Hugo Lloris has also been really good in the first few weeks of this season. If they want to close the gap on title favorites Manchester City and Liverpool this season, they have to brush aside teams like Wolves to stay in the hunt.

Resilient Tottenham ready to take next step: Their spirited draw at Chelsea and this narrow win over Wolves proves that Antonio Conte is ready to take Tottenham to the next level. Wolves lovely to watch, but same problems remain: Bruno Lage’s Wolves were superb in the first half and stroked the ball around brilliantly as new signings Goncalo Guedes and Matheus Nunes slotted in seamlessly.
