Wolves secured a fourth consecutive Premier League victory with a win over Tottenham at Molineux.
Wolves’ record against Spurs made for encouraging reading before the game, and it didn’t take long for the hosts to worry Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Rayan Ait-Nouri opened the scoring after just 85 seconds, with an own goal from Djed Spence and goals from Jorgen Strand Larsen and the returning Matheus Cunha giving Vitor Pereira’s side a healthy advantage.
Aside from the goalscorers, there were some top performers during the contest in the West Midlands.
Here’s how the players rated.

Wolves player ratings vs Tottenham
Jose Sa – 6
Sa was tested by Spurs but not perhaps as much as he thought he’d be, seeing many shots on goal fly astray.
Matt Doherty – 6
Doherty was moving gingerly towards the end of the second half, seeing the Irishman hooked at half-time.
Emmanuel Agbadou – 8
Monstrous performance by Agbadou, he marshalled the defence expertly and was an immoveable force at the back.
Toti Gomes – 7
Toti was imposing on the left side of the back three, clearing the ball countless times and giving Spurs no chance at winning aerial duels.
Nelson Semedo – 5
Semedo’s terrible attempt to defend gave Spurs a goal early into the second half. Some disastrous defending from the Portugal international, who tried to be clever before snuffing out the danger.
Rayan Ait-Nouri – 9
Ait-Nouri did all that he could against Spurs, winning duels, recording an assist and scoring a goal.
Amid some questionable performances from the Algerian, the left-back truly showed what he’s capable of by terrorising young Archie Gray throughout the contest.
Joao Gomes – 7.5
Gomes moved freely through the midfield and combined with those ahead of him to impose himself in the middle of the park. Another top performance.
Andre – 7
A tidy display from Andre as expected, who really is relishing life alongside Gomes.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde – 6.5
It was Bellegarde’s positive play that won Wolves the early free kick, resulting in Ait-Nouri’s goal, but sadly, the Frenchman’s afternoon was cut short by injury.
Marshall Munetsi – 6.5
Munetsi hustled well in central areas, making his presence known to Spurs.
The Zimbabwean is rarely the protagonist but finds himself at the heart of some of Wolves’ positive passages of play.
Jorgen Strand Larsen – 7
Another game, another goal from Wolves’ number nine who caused Spurs problems all afternoon with his physicality in the box.
Larsen again…
Substitutes
Pablo Sarabia – 7
Sarabia showed his class with intricate passes and movement after replacing Bellegarde early into the contest.
Santi Bueno – 6
Bueno came on at half-time to replace Doherty but wasn’t tested too vigorously by Spurs.
Matheus Cunha – 7
After a tough time away from the action, Cunha returned with a bang, scoring late on to mark his return with his 14th of the season.
