Wolves needed just two minutes to break the deadlock as they chased a fourth-straight league win.

Rayan Ait Nouri rifled in from the edge of the box, before a Djed Spence own goal just before the break.

Postecoglou’s Spurs looked more at it in the second half, with Mathys Tel halving the deficit.

But they were carved open again by a rampant Wolves as
Jorgen Strand Larsen sealed the points.

Ait-Nouri robbed skipper Christian Romero who failed to deal with the situation when he appeared to have it covered.

He then crossed for Strand Larsen to score his 12th goal of the season from close range – making it five goals in four games for the Norwegian.

Richarlison came of the bench to give Spurs hope of a late fightback.

But no sooner had the Brazilian scored, his fellow countryman Cunha had made it 4-2 down the other end.
