Wolves hit 4 past Tottenham in four-star performance to seal fourth straight win

Wolverhampton Wanderers edged closer to Premier League survival with a convincing 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Molineux, piling pressure on Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou.

Postecoglou made six changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Eintracht Frankfurt in their Europa League quarter-final first leg.

But Wolves took full advantage, climbing to 16th place and moving 14 points clear of the relegation zone with six games remaining.

In a match reported be the BBC Sports, Vitor Pereira’s side struck early, going ahead in the second minute when Rayan Ait-Nouri capitalized on goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario’s poor punch to score from the edge of the area.

Wolves doubled their lead seven minutes before the break through a comical own goal, with Vicario pushing a Marshall Munetsi header onto defender Djed Spence and into his own net.

Spurs pulled one back before the hour mark when Mathys Tel bundled home at the far post after Nelson Semedo failed to clear Brennan Johnson’s cross.

But Wolves quickly restored their two-goal cushion as Ait-Nouri outpaced Cristian Romero and set up Jorgen Strand Larsen for a simple finish—his fourth goal in as many games.

Richarlison offered Tottenham late hope, scoring four minutes from time after Vicario tipped Romero’s header onto the bar.

However, substitute Matheus Cunha sealed the win after dispossessing Lucas Bergvall and coolly finishing to condemn Spurs to their 17th league defeat of the season.

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira basked in applause from the home crowd as his side celebrated a fourth consecutive Premier League win—something they hadn’t achieved since January 1972. Since taking over on 19 December, Pereira has claimed 26 points—more than the bottom three clubs combined.

The unity and momentum he has instilled were on full display, led by standout performances from Ait-Nouri and Cunha. Strand Larsen, meanwhile, joined Henri Camara as only the second Wolves player to score in four straight top-flight games.

Wolves’ staff and players took a collective bow at full-time, a fitting tribute to the turnaround Pereira has orchestrated.

With Premier League survival nearly secured, Molineux has cause to celebrate.
