Antonio Conte’s side, loudly booed off at full-time, dropped to eighth place, four points adrift of the Champions League places.
Raul Jimenez gave Wolves the perfect start in the sixth minute, the Mexican volleying home after Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris weakly spilled Leander Dendoncker’s effort.

If that was an ugly goal to concede, there was worse to come for Tottenham as they imploded in the 18th minute.

Daniel Podence’s shot was deflected onto the post by Davinson Sanchez and Dendoncker bundled in from close-range.
Wolves, who climbed one point above Tottenham into seventh, have won four successive top-flight away games for the first time since 1980.
