Tottenham have suffered their 17th Premier League defeat of the season after losing a six-goal thriller against Wolves. The result sees Wolves close to within two points of Spurs who will now be looking over their shoulders at the possibility of finishing as low as 17th.
Ange Postecoglou, whose future in north London has been questioned in recent weeks, rotated his squad today with one eye on next week’s season-defining Europa League quarter-final second leg tie with Eintracht Frankfurt which is finely poised following Thursday’s 1-1 draw. Though the Spurs boss did not get the performance he wanted ahead of that game.
Defensive errors ultimately proved costly for the north London outfit with Guglielmo Vicario and Cristian Romero both guilty of errors in the 4-2 loss. Wolves are one of the form teams in the league having now won four on the bounce to open up a 14-point cushion over the relegation zone.
