Tottenham make unwanted Premier League history as Ange Postecoglou’s men concede first yet again.
Tottenham have created unwanted Premier League history by becoming the first team to concede first in 15 home games in a single calendar year.
Ange Postecoglou’s men have made it a habit of going behind first in 2024 in front of their own fans.
And against Wolves on Sunday afternoon it was no different, with the visitors needing just seven minutes to take the lead.
A brilliantly worked free-kick saw Hwang Hee-chan take aim from outside the box where he curled home in the bottom right corner.
With that, Spurs have become the first team since the inception of the Premier League in 1992 to concede first in 15 home games from January-December.
Spurs have now fallen behind first in seven top-flight home matches this term from their ten fixtures at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
From those games, they have won just three times – coming from behind to beat Brentford, West Ham and Aston Villa.
Meanwhile they have gone on to lose on three occasions – against Arsenal, Ipswich and Liverpool.
In the six home games that Spurs have went behind in prior to the Wolves clash, they forced themselves back on level terms by half-time twice.
And they made it three against the Midlands outfit, with Rodrigo Bentancur equalising in the 12th minute.
The Uruguay international got on the end of Pedro Porro’s corner at the near post to head past Jose Sa.
Spurs could have completed the turnaround in the 43rd minute after they were awarded a penalty for a foul on Brennan Johnson.
However skipper Heung-min Son couldn’t find the back of the net, with Sa diving to his right to keep out the South Korean’s spot-kick.
However the comeback was complete in the third minute of first half stoppage time through Welsh forward Johnson.
Johnson combined brilliantly with Dejan Kulusevski down the right channel, with the former feeding the latter outside the box.
Kulusevski then glided into the box before pulling back for his teammate, who made no mistake by firing into the near post.
A win for Spurs would lift them up to tenth in the table following back-to-back defeats against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
Prior to Sunday’s clash, Spurs had won just once out of their last six top-flight matches to leave Postecoglou under huge pressure.
