# Wolves: Fans rave over Matt Doherty following clip from 3-2 Spurs victory

**Responding to a post by Wolverhampton Wanderers’ [official club account](https://twitter.com/rich93656525/status/1235299941599375363?s=21), many Wolves supporters have been worshipping the heroics of Matt Doherty after footage emerged of him celebrating a last-ditch tackle to keep his side in front last weekend.**

The Irishman, who has started [23 games](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/94042/Show/Matt-Doherty) for Wolves this season ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/94042/Show/Matt-Doherty)), becoming a staple of Nuno Espirito Santo’s midfield four, made a heroic block to keep his side in front during their impressive [3-2 victory](https://www.sofascore.com/tottenham-wolverhampton/dsI) away to Spurs. The home side had originally taken the lead twice, with Wolves going on to level the score on both occasions before in-form striker Raul Jimenez buried a composed effort past Huge Lloris for the eventual winner.

Doherty, who also found the net in North London, registered a [7.8 SofaScore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/tottenham-wolverhampton/dsI) from the contest – winning all of his ground duels whilst amassing a [74%](https://www.sofascore.com/tottenham-wolverhampton/dsI) pass accuracy. However, following this [emerged clip](https://twitter.com/rich93656525/status/1235299941599375363?s=21), many supporters are praising his antics after he made a brilliant last ditch challenge – find all of their best comments down below.
