Spurs raced into the lead through Harry Kane’s spectacular 25-yard strike in the first 45 minutes but Wolves turned things in the second half scoring three times in the final 18 minutes to dent Pochetino’s men title aspirations.
The loss means Tottenham are now nine points behind unbeaten Liverpool who trashed Arsenal 5-1.

“We tried to play a little more in the second half, but we were too direct and I think we started to pay for the effort in the other games.
“We are not machines. We need to understand that we cannot get ourselves in this situation.”
