Wolves pulled off a remarkable 2-1 victory against Tottenham, propelling themselves into the Premier League’s top half and displacing Chelsea for 10th place.
Joao Gomes was the hero for Wolves, scoring both goals and showcasing their attacking prowess. Despite Tottenham dominating possession in the first half, it was Wolves who capitalized on their chances, with Gomes heading home a corner just before halftime.
Tottenham quickly responded after the break, with Dejan Kulusevski leveling the score only 40 seconds into the second half. However, Wolves remained resolute and exploited Tottenham’s defensive vulnerabilities once again.
A swift counter-attack led to Gomes’ second goal, sealing the win for Wolves and highlighting their efficiency in front of goal.
Tottenham’s defensive woes were exacerbated by the absence of Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro due to minor injuries. Ben Davies and Emerson Royal struggled to fill the void left by the absent full-backs, with Royal’s lone recovery highlighting the importance of their inverted roles in Tottenham’s system.
Despite Tottenham’s efforts to regain control, Wolves’ clinical finishing and defensive resilience secured them a well-deserved victory, further intensifying the pressure on Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou.
