Bad news never comes alone. The Tottenhamwho with Antonio Conte had not known defeat for two days, chained the second in a row against Wolverhampton (0-2)who overcame them in the first half to snatch their place in the table, with a view to being in Europe next season.
It may be that the doubts after the defeat against Southampton affected, but that is not an excuse to justify the lousy first half of the ‘spurs’. those of Contewho this time dared with Bentancur at the start, was unable to accumulate more than 30% of possession in the first half in which he did not appear in attack other than in a quick escape by Son in which the lights went out when he planted in front of Jose Sa.
nothing to see the Wolves. Led by a hyperactive Podence between the lines, they were ahead in the blink of an eye. Helped everything is said by a Hugo Lloris who was not successful. He badly repelled two consecutive shots until Raul Jimenez He did not forgive anymore in a point-blank shot (6′). He wasn’t much better afterwards, on a faulty pass to Davies that Davies cleared even worse. In the middle zone the Wolves stole, who extended the advantage thanks to Dendoncker (18′).
Those two goal difference were already enough to get the game out. Some more could have fallen in those 45 minutes, but Lloris fixed the ballot. Although Conte wanted a reaction by inserting Kulusevski early in the first half for Sessegnon, the truth is that until the second half, and well into the second half, nothing at all. It was more by insistence and overturning, but there were not so clear either. A stick from Winks, a header from Romero and one in which Jose Sa got involved and almost ended in disgust. Game over.
