Tottenham really are their own worst enemy at times. Heading into Saturday's Premier League clash away at Wolves, Antonio Conte's men knew that a win would see them extend their lead over Newcastle United to seven points following the Magpies' 2-0 defeat at Man City in the lunchtime kick-off.
A golden opportunity for the team in the race for a Champions League finish, Tottenham started the game brightly after their dismal midweek defeat at Sheffield United and forced Jose Sa into a number of saves. At the other end of the pitch, Wolves did nothing of note to call Fraser Forster into action but their performance did considerably go up a notch or two after Son Heung-min had crashed an effort against the crossbar shortly after the restart.
Forced into a first-half substitution following Diego Costa's injury, Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui made a double sub at half-time and then another two changes midway through the second half. The alterations worked a treat and gave the hosts some much-needed fresh legs and energy to help overcome Tottenham.
