Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League struggles continued as they suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of fellow strugglers Wolves. The loss, which makes their season 17th league defeat of the year, was particularly disappointing for the fans who made the long trip to Molineux Stadium.
Spurs were abysmal in defense, with all four of Wolves’ goals resulting from individual errors by the team. Despite controlling possession and probing for a leveller in the first half, they conceded two goals within just 10 minutes. The second goal was particularly embarrassing, as goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario parried a deflected cross into a teammate’s own net.
The match saw several telling moments, including Spurs’ attempts to claw back from 2-0 down and Richarlison’s late equaliser. However, Wolves quickly restored their two-goal advantage after each of these efforts were nullified by further mistakes.
Postecoglou bears ultimate responsibility for the team’s performance, which raises questions about his tenure as manager and whether chairman Daniel Levy is doing enough to support him. The win in Eintracht Frankfurt could be a turning point, but it will be crucial for Spurs to avoid further defeats like this one if they are to salvage their season.
Vicario’s display was particularly concerning, with the goalkeeper looking jittery and struggling to cope with crosses. His poor form has raised worries about his confidence going into Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final decider against Eintracht Frankfurt. On a positive note, Dejan Kulusevski returned from injury and may now be in contention for starting roles, potentially adding energy and creativity to the team.
