Postecoglou Blames 'unusual' Errors For Latest Spurs Defeat

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou defended his side's performance despite their 4-2 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, a result that marked their 17th Premier League loss of the season.

Spurs were undone by a series of unfortunate errors at Molineux, with Rayan Ait-Nouri giving Wolves the lead within two minutes. A further blunder from goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who punched the ball off Djed Spence into his own net, saw Spurs fall 2-0 behind.

Although Tottenham responded with goals from Matys Tel and Richarlison to level the score, Wolves quickly regained their two-goal cushion through Jorgen Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha.

Funny game because for the most part, it was decent considering the changes we made, Postecoglou reflected. I thought we controlled large parts and were a bit of a threat going forward, but we conceded some poor goals. We made some individual errors, which is unusual for us, but they all happened in one game. It's not like they are doing it on purpose.

With Spurs languishing in 15th place in the Premier League, their hopes of securing European football rest on their performance in the Europa League, where they will travel to Eintracht Frankfurt for the second leg of their quarter-final, following a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
