Wolves heap misery on Spurs as EPL safety becomes reality

In the midst of a dismal domestic season, Tottenham hit a new low at Molineux on Sunday as Wolves virtually sealed their survival with a vibrant 4-2 victory.

Wolves took the lead in the second minute when Rayan Ait-Nouri volleyed from the edge of the area.

Tottenham conceded a second goal in calamitous fashion in the 38th minute as 'keeper Guglielmo Vicario pushed a cross into Djed Spence's face and the ball bounced off his teammate into the net.

Mathys Tel converted Brennan Johnson's 59th-minute cross to give Tottenham hope, but five minutes later, Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen tapped in after Cristian Romero was robbed by Ait-Nouri.

Richarlison bundled home for Tottenham in the 85th minute, only for Matheus Cunha to net a minute later after Lucas Bergvall carelessly lost possession.

Tottenham are languishing in 15th place - which would equal their worst finish since 1993-94 - after a wretched display that heaped further pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou.

The Australian's last hope to save his job amid mounting talk that he faces the sack lies with the Europa League.

Tottenham travel to Eintracht Frankfurt for the quarter-final second leg on Thursday after being held to a 1-1 draw by the German team in midweek.
