Wolves v Tottenham player ratings: Ruddy 8, Neves 6; Skipp 8, Kane 7

Spurs progress to League Cup fourth round following a penalty shootout having let a two-goal lead slip in normal time

• 

  WOLVES PLAYER RATINGS: John Ruddy – 8. A busy night for the veteran. Unable to stop Ndombele’s goal at his far post and was given no chance in a one on one with Kane. Massive block to stop Gil and a point-blank save to deny Kane a second and keep Wolves in it. Getty Images

• 

  Ki-Jana Hoever – 7. First outing since his assist in the last round and found himself beaten on the right wing a handful of times in the first half. However, he came out all guns blazing after the restart and could have claimed an assist after beating Sanchez and laying the ball out for Hwang. AFP

• 

  Maximilian Kilman – 7. Yet to miss a minute this season. On one occasion, he swung in a lovely ball into the box, but Hwang’s header was unable to trouble the Spurs goal. Getty Images

• 

  Willy Boly – 6. Came into the side for the first time this season as he looked to gain match fitness following a hamstring injury, but was beaten for both of Spurs’ goals. Getty Images

• 

  Yerson Mosquera – N/R. Made his Wolves debut in a back three but pulled up in the first 10 minutes and was stretchered off. Getty Images

• 

  Rayan Ait-Nouri – 7. The 20-year-old’s corner helped Wolves back into the game. He looks a good prospect going forward. Subbed after running into Tanganga. Getty Images

• 

  Leander Dendoncker – 7. The Belgian has seen his game time limited his season but was straight into the action, with an early shot that was blocked by Romero. Converted his header from a corner to help Wolves back into the game, and then assisted Wolves’ equaliser. Poor penalty in the shootout. Getty Images

• 

  Ruben Neves – 6. Captained the side in a much-changed line-up but struggled to make much noise. Came to life in the final few minutes with a shot that bounced over the crossbar, followed by a free-kick that just glanced over. Produced a shocking penalty which sailed over in the shootout.

  Hee Chan Hwang – 7. Made his first start and was unable to get a header on target just before the half-time whistle. Dispossessed Ndombele to begin Wolves’ attack for the equaliser. (AP Photo

• 

  Daniel Podence – 7. A poor challenge by the Portuguese midfielder saw him dispossessed and Spurs surge forward for the first goal, but he will be easily forgiven for getting his team level with a great first touch to slot home. Reuters

• 

  Fabio Silva – 6. The 19-year-old got two assists in the last round of the cup, and he grew into this game as Wolves got on the front foot. Unable to direct an effort goalwards later on in the first half. Booked for bad challenge on Tanganga early on. Getty Images

• 

  Conor Coady (9’) – 6. Came on early on and was caught off-guard with poor defending for Ndombele’s goal. Stopped Ndombele getting a cross in in the second half. Hit the crossbar in the shootout. Getty Images

• 

  Adama Traore (46’) – 7. Came on as Wolves looked for a way back into the game and did well to beat Romero as Wolves’ pressed for the winner. Enjoyed spells on the ball when Wolves were dominating the second half and saw his shot take a deflection in the final 10 minutes. EPA

  Nelson Semedo (75’) – N/R. A quiet appearance off the bench to replace Ait-Nouri. Reuters

  Joao Moutinho (84’) – N/R. Brought on for the penalties and did his job. AP Photo

• 

  TOTTENHAM PLAYER RATINGS: Pierluigi Gollini – 6. With Hugo Lloris rested, the Atalanta loanee came into the side. Had a quieter first half with Spurs on the front foot. Claimed Dendoncker’s first effort on goal but unable to keep his second out. Couldn’t do much to stop a powerful Podence goal. Should have saved first penalty. Getty Images

• 

  Japhet Tanganga – 7. Came straight back into the line-up following his suspension against Chelsea and couldn’t convert a shot from a tight angle before half time. Couldn’t keep another effort down in the second half. AFP

• 

  Cristian Romero – 7. Solid in Spurs’ backline, blocking an early effort by Dendoncker and covering for Sanchez after poor defending. Getty Images

• 

  Davinson Sanchez – 6. Very fortunate not to have given Wolves an equaliser after being beaten by Hoever early into the second half. PA

• 

  Ben Davies – 6. The out-of-favour Welshman has seen his game time limited this season and he did little to change that decision. Did handle Traore, though, and produced an important sliding tackle late on to stop a late through ball. PA

• 

  Oliver Skipp – 8. Has stepped up this season following a year away on loan and started both attacks for Spurs’ two goals with perfectly timed tackles. Exciting prospect for the season and always part of the action. AFP

• 

  Dele Alli – 7. Played a delicious ball right into Kane’s path for Spurs’ second and could have made a second minutes later. Lively performance and finding his old form again in a Spurs shirt. PA

• 

  Tanguy Ndombele – 7. A mixed game from the Frenchman. Got Spurs off the mark inside 15 minutes with a charging run to beat Coady and Boly and slot past Ruddy. Looked positive on the attack and could have got a second after some mishandling by Ruddy. Weak defensively and needed to do better in marking Dendoncker for Wolves’ goal. Booked. Getty Images

• 

  Bryan Gil – 6. The £22.5m man saw his effort on goal blocked just after Wolves’ equaliser but needs more game time. Gave Ruddy no chance in the shootout. Getty Images

• 

  Giovani Lo Celso – 6. The Argentinian blundered his chance in the first half, tripping over his feet. Produced a lovely backheel just before Alli’s shot. AP Photo

• 

  Harry Kane - 7. Chosen to lead the line in the hope of regaining last season’s form, and he found his way onto the scoresheet in the first half. He looked composed during a one-on-one with Ruddy to slot home into Wolves’ goal. AFP

• 

  SUBS: Son Heung-min (62’) – 6. Brought on following Wolves’ equaliser as Spurs looked for the win. Couldn’t make anything happen. Getty Images

• 

  Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (82’) - N/R. Came on when Tottenham were on the back foot and couldn’t get a hold on the game in a short cameo. Saw his penalty saved in the shootout (no match photos available). Getty Images

• 

  Sergio Reguilon (90’) - N/R. Brought on to take a penalty and produced a finish into the top corner that Ruddy had no chance of saving. Getty Images

Harry Kane ended his goal drought as Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo knocked his former club Wolves out of the League Cup on penalties after a 2-2 draw at Molineux on Wednesday.

Tanguy Ndombele gave Tottenham a 14th-minute lead when he charged down Conor Coady's clearance and shot past John Ruddy.

Kane, without a goal in his four previous games, increased Tottenham's advantage after 23 minutes. Dele Alli's perfect pass sent Kane clear and the England captain found the bottom corner.

Leander Dendoncker pulled one back for Wolves seven minutes before the break when he headed in Rayan Ait-Nouri's corner. Daniel Podence levelled 13 minutes into the second half from Dendoncker's pass.

In the shootout, Dendoncker, Ruben Neves and Coady all missed for Wolves to help send Spurs into the fourth round and a meeting with Burnley.
