Tottenham slumped to a 4-2 defeat to fellow strugglers Wolves as their wretched Premier League season continued.
Rayan Ait-Nouri’s strike and a Djed Spence own goal put Wolves in control by the interval following unconvincing moments from Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Mathys Tel’s goal made it 2-1 after the break, only for Jorgen Strand Larsen to restore the hosts two-goal advantage after a mistake by Cristian Romero.
Richarlison pulled a second goal back for Spurs but, within a minute, Matheus Cunha had capitalised on Lucas Bergvall’s error to ensure a 17th league defeat of the season for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Here are three Spurs talking points from the match…
Abject display an insult to fans
Yes, the Europa League is the priority for Spurs but the manner in which Postecoglou’s side coasted to another abject defeat in the league was insulting to supporters – hundreds of whom had made the long trip to Molineux.
Spurs played like a side who had earned the right to be on the beach rather than a team which, mathematically, could still be relegated from the top-flight.

They were embarrassingly lax at the back, with all four of Wolves’ goals the result of terrible individual errors, and predictably conceded inside two minutes after a familiarly dreadful start.
Between Wolves’ first two goals, Spurs were actually on top, controlling possession and probing for a leveller, albeit without carving out any clear chances.
It was a measure of the brittleness of Postecoglou’s side that they crumbled under the slightest pressure, conceding a second from a rare Wolves foray into the final third.
