On Sunday, Wolves achieved a major milestone by winning four consecutive Premier League games for the first time in club history. The match at Molineux saw them defeat Tottenham Hotspur 4-2 in an exciting encounter.
Wolves took an early lead thanks to a second-minute goal from Rayan Ait-Nouri. Tottenham struggled defensively, and a Djed Spence own goal just before halftime gave Wolves a comfortable advantage going into the break. Despite Tottenham’s attempts to mount a comeback with two goals, Wolves responded each time, with Jorgen Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha securing the win.
Impressive Defensive and Midfield Display
Former Wolves full-back Lee Naylor praised the team’s defensive and midfield performances. He highlighted the importance of the early goal, which allowed Wolves to control the game. Naylor noted that defensively, Wolves were solid and rarely looked threatened by Tottenham’s attacks.
“I thought Joao Gomes was absolutely outstanding,” Naylor said. “He was everywhere on the pitch, and for me, he was Man of the Match. Even when Tottenham looked dangerous, we had the pace, power, and defensive know-how to handle their attacks.”
Strand Larsen’s Work Ethic and Goals
Andy Thompson spoke highly of Jorgen Strand Larsen, who has been a key figure in the team’s recent success. Thompson praised the striker’s work ethic, saying that his willingness to do the dirty work—such as chasing down balls and putting pressure on defenders—has been crucial to the team’s performances.
Strand Larsen’s goal scoring has also been instrumental, with his consistent efforts providing a much-needed attacking threat. Naylor acknowledged the striker’s role in breaking a long-standing record, emphasizing his all-around contributions to the team.
Team Spirit and Connection with Fans
Both Naylor and Thompson highlighted the growing connection between the Wolves squad and their fans. The team’s hard work and commitment were evident in their celebrations, with players showing their appreciation for the fans’ unwavering support. As results improve, the bond between the team and supporters is becoming stronger, with Wolves looking to build on their recent successes.
