Wolves Secure 4-2 Victory Over Tottenham as Spurs’ Errors Prove Costly

Wolverhampton Wanderers defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-2 in a thrilling Premier League encounter, with Spurs’ defensive lapses and individual mistakes playing a pivotal role. Wolves took a commanding 2-0 lead through early goals from Rayan Ait-Nouri and a Djed Spence own goal. Although Spurs fought back twice with goals from Mathys Tel and Richarlison, they were unable to prevent Wolves from regaining their advantage through Jorgen Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha, who sealed the win with a quickfire second.

Spurs, under manager Ange Postecoglou, made six changes following their midweek draw with Eintracht Frankfurt, including a surprise omission of Heung-Min Son due to injury. Despite controlling large portions of the game, Spurs were undone by costly errors. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, in particular, faced heavy criticism after making a series of blunders, including a failed clearance leading to Spence’s own goal and a parry that contributed to Ait-Nouri’s early strike.

Wolves’ head coach Vitor Pereira was pleased with his team’s performance, securing a fourth consecutive win—an achievement last seen in 1972 for the club. Pereira also praised Cunha, who came off the bench to score and demonstrated his commitment to the team despite recent speculation over his future.

Tottenham’s mistakes left Postecoglou frustrated, particularly with the errors from Cristian Romero and Lucas Bergvall, which led directly to two of Wolves’ goals. Despite Spurs’ improved attacking play, Postecoglou acknowledged that individual errors were costly. With Europe still a key focus for Spurs, this defeat is another setback in their battle for European qualification.

Wolves’ victory lifts them to 16th in the table, easing any concerns about relegation, while Spurs remain just above them in 7th place, two points ahead.
