TNT Sports decided to introduce a new feature as part of the show before the big kick-off.
And that was a bodycam being attached to Spurs star Brennan Johnson and Wolves' Max Kilman throughout the warm-ups.
During the pre-game build-up, shaky clips were shown from the cam as the former Nottingham Forest forward and the defender got ready for action with their team-mates in a number of ball and fitness drills.
The broadcaster confirmed before the game: “TNT Sports and the @PremierLeague have partnered on a new innovation that will be trialled for Wolves vs Tottenham.
