Centre-forward Harry Kane gave his team the winning goal and at the same time broke the record for the most goals scored in the Premier League with a single club (185).
He exceeds the total of Sergio Aguero, established at Manchester City between 2011 and 2021.
This success allows Antonio Conte's team to temporarily lead the championship with 7 points, pending the results of Arsenal at Bournemouth (6:30 p.m.) and Manchester City at Newcastle on Sunday (5:30 p.m.).
The Spurs delivered a performance quite similar to that of last Sunday at Chelsea (2-2), with a sluggish first period.
It was Wolverhampton, who are having a difficult start to the season (2 losses, 1 draw), who got the main chances through Guedes (11th) and Podence (34th).
The Spurs stepped on the accelerator after returning from the locker room.
They were clumsy at first, until Harry Kane took advantage of a deflection on a corner from rookie Ivan Perisic to score (64th) a goal almost identical to that of the final equalizer at Chelsea last Sunday.
Antonio Conte's players will have to show more if they are not to remain dependent on the form of their attackers Kane and Son, as has often been the case since the end of the Pochettino era.
Nothing is going well in Leicester
Beaten by the modest Southampton on Saturday (1-2), Leicester, harmless with a single shot on target, will be in a relegation position no matter what at the end of this 3rd day of the Championship.
Brendan Rodgers' men had however become accustomed to starting strong in the Premier League, to the point of being in the race for the Champions League until the last moments, before collapsing.
Only 8th and out of European places last season, Leicester is in trouble this summer.
And a complicated schedule awaits them, with a trip to Chelsea next week and then the reception of Manchester United.
Everton stagnates
Everton are also in turmoil after a disappointing draw at home to promoted Nottingham Forest (1-1).
Defeated in the first two days, Frank Lampard's men chained a third game without a win and struggled offensively, despite the efforts of Anthony Gordon, coveted by Chelsea.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, confirms its good form at the moment thanks to its victory against Aston Villa (3-1), a week after having stood up to Liverpool (1-1).
This meeting was also a duel between two legends of the English Championship, the French coach of Palace Patrick Vieira and that of Villa Steven Gerrard.
