Published: December 27, 2020

Tri-eligible central midfielder Owen Otasowie entered the game as a substitute as his team Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur played out a 1-1 draw.

In a cold winter night at the Molineux Stadium, Tanguy Ndombele gave Jose Mourinho's team a dream start by opening the scoring inside the first minute when he hit a beauty from 25 yards out.

In the 83rd minute and with Wolves searching for an equaliser, Otasowie came on to replace Joao Moutinho.

Wolves with a reward for their endeavor got their equalising goal through Romain Saiss who met a corner at the near post and glanced a header past Hugo Lloris in the 86th minute.

The game slipped away from Spurs' grasp and the home team could have won it deep into stoppage time but Fabio Silva's downward header was saved by Lloris.

Otasowie has been involved in the last three matches played by Wolves in the Premier League, starting from the 2-1 home win against Chelsea twelve days ago.

Blessed with physical presence and an aerial threat from set-pieces, the 19-year-old is eligible to represent the national teams of Nigeria, England and United States.
