Wolves vs Tottenham: Wolves Dominate Spurs in 4-2 Home Victory
The Premier League clash between Wolves vs Tottenham turned into a one-sided affair as Wolverhampton Wanderers secured a resounding 4-2 win at Molineux. It was a match that showed just how far the Wolves have come under Vitor Pereira and how badly things are unraveling for the Spurs.
This victory marks the Wolves’ fourth consecutive Premier League win, and it’s fair to say they’re no longer the team struggling at the bottom. With this win, they climb to 16th place, now sitting just two points behind Tottenham, who are now dangerously close to the relegation zone in 15th.
Let’s break down everything that happened in this high-scoring battle between Wolves vs Tottenham.
Early Blitz Sets the Tone
It took less than two minutes for the Wolves to show their intent. A free kick cleared weakly by Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario landed perfectly for Rayan Ait-Nouri, who smashed a side volley into the net. That early goal completely rattled Tottenham, and things didn’t improve for them from there.
Vicario's Nightmare Game
Guglielmo Vicario had a game to forget. From weak punches to misplaced passes, he was at the center of the chaos. In the 38th minute, Vicario mishandled another effort that bounced off teammate Djed Spence and into his net, an own goal that doubled the Wolves’ lead.
Spurs Try to Fight Back
Tottenham showed some fight in the second half. Mathys Tel scored in the 59th minute, giving the Spurs hope. But just five minutes later, Jorgen Strand Larsen punished a defensive error and made it 3-1.
Once again, Richarlison offered the Spurs a lifeline with a late header in the 85th minute to make it 3-2. But that joy lasted only a minute.
Matheus Cunha Seals the Deal
Wolves’ comeback hero Matheus Cunha, returning from suspension, made an immediate impact. Just after Richarlison’s goal, Cunha dispossessed Lucas Bergvall and calmly slotted the ball past Vicario to make it 4-2, putting the game beyond Tottenham’s reach.

Wolves Are Rising
With wins over Southampton, West Ham, Ipswich, and now Spurs, the Wolves are showing true grit under manager Vitor Pereira. Since his arrival in December, the Wolves have won 8 out of their last 10 matches. Their turnaround is one of the most impressive stories of the season.
They’ve gone from a team destined for relegation to one with a clear path to safety. If they win their next match against another struggling team, Manchester Unite,d they could move even further up the table.
Spurs in Trouble?
Things are not looking good for Tottenham Hotspur. Injuries have hurt them, but the lack of fight and poor performances have made things worse. Coach Ange Postecoglou is under pressure. If the Spurs lose their upcoming Europa League match against Eintracht Frankfurt, it could be the final straw.
They currently sit 15th in the table and have only one route left to European football—winning the Europa League.
