Tottenham's 2-2 Draw with Wolves Intensifies Pressure on Postecoglou
Tottenham Hotspur's 2-2 home draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers has increased scrutiny on manager Ange Postecoglou, with the team now sitting 11th in the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur's recent struggles continued as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Wolverhampton Wanderers at home, a result that has intensified pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou. This outcome follows consecutive defeats to Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, leaving Spurs in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
The match began unfavorably for Tottenham, with Wolves taking an early lead in the 7th minute through a well-executed free-kick by Hwang Hee-chan. Tottenham responded swiftly, equalizing just four minutes later when Rodrigo Bentancur headed in a corner delivered by Pedro Porro.
Despite gaining momentum, Spurs missed a crucial opportunity to take the lead before halftime. In stoppage time, Son Heung-min failed to convert a penalty, his shot saved by Wolves' goalkeeper. However, moments later, Tottenham managed to go ahead as Brennan Johnson scored following an assist from Dejan Kulusevski, concluding the first half at 2-1.
The second half saw a decline in Tottenham's attacking intensity, allowing Wolves to gradually regain control. Their persistence paid off in the 87th minute when substitute Jorgen Strand Larsen, who had replaced the injured Matheus Cunha, scored a powerful shot assisted by Rayan Aït-Nouri, leveling the match at 2-2.
This result leaves Tottenham with only one win in their last six league matches, raising questions about Postecoglou's future at the club. The team's current 11th-place standing is their lowest year-end position since the 2008-09 season, increasing speculation about potential managerial changes if performances do not improve promptly.
Wolverhampton, under new manager Vítor Pereira, remains unbeaten in three matches, moving two points clear of the relegation zone. Their resilience in securing a late equalizer at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium reflects positively on Pereira's early impact.
