Wolves made it three Premier League defeats on the spin for Tottenham after two first-half goals punished Antonio Conte’s sloppy side in a 2-0 win
In a game where , their side fell behind on six minutes where a calamity spell of goalkeeping from Hugo Lloris allowed Raul Jimenez to volley home in splendid fashion
 Spurs were totally culpable in their own downfall and could not have been any more generous in helping Wolves to a two-goal lead
Things got significantly worse in the Tottenham backline when a poor pass out by Ben Davies started a Wolves attack and after Daniel Podence's effort came back off the post Leandro Dendoncker was on hand to double the lead
Conte, who has lost three games in a row for the first time since 2009, decided to change Ryan Sessegnon with Dejan Kulusevski after 27 minutes but Spurs remained flat and lacking in ideas against the Wolves defence that has now kept nine clean sheets this season
Spurs did improve after the break but despite posting 17 shots on goal - eight of them from Harry Kane - Jose Sa was relatively comfortable at dealing with what was thrown at him
 Harry Winks' had a deflected effort crash into the post, but this was another disappointing day for the hosts
The win moves Wolves into seventh place, above Tottenham
With top four contenders falling over themselves in slapstick fashion, consistency could be key in the race for Champions League qualification
 Wolves may lack the individual quality of the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United but they make up for that in terms of team cohesion and a desire for defending
 They are just three points off United in fifth
Wolves' standout strength has been their watertight defence
 Their 17 goals conceded is bettered only by Manchester City this season and no other side in the division has conceded fewer goals from open play than Wolves' 10 to date
 Spurs managed 17 shots but only produced an expected goals figure of 1
07 - pointing to lots of low probability chances due to some excellent defending from Wolves in their box
 All successful teams need a top goalkeeper, and Wolves' Sa has been one of the bargains of the season - the £6
8m buy from Olympiakos last summer has the best save percentage in the Premier League this season
To single out one Wolves player is a little unfair on the back of what was a complete team performance, but the assurance and quality of Kilman's play stood out yet again
 Confident on the ball to drive forward and adept at being in the right place at the right time to snuff out danger, he managed to keep a lid on Heung-min Son, who had a rare off day across all aspects of his game
Kilman's standout moment came midway through the second half when out of nowhere the Wolves defender prevented Kane testing Sa from close range
 It was an impressive piece of defending and summed up his performance
 Special mentions have to go out to Daniel Podence and Sa, who were both outstanding too
Tottenham's defending in the opening 20 minutes of this defeat left Conte speechless when pressed on the subject in the post-match media duties
 He just shook his head in disbelief, almost offering the words 'no comment' to the questioning
Spurs' criminal start to the game handed a two-goal advantage to a team whose defensive record is only bettered by Manchester City this season
 Tottenham threatened in patches but Jose Sa was rarely troubled despite Conte's claims it was one of Tottenham's best attacking performances since he joined the club
 That is debatable
 But something that was clear as day was how disorganised and ragged Spurs were in the opening stages
 World Cup winner Lloris set the tone on six minutes with two pieces of goalkeeping that would not have been out of place down the road on Hackney Marshes on a Sunday morning
Jiminez's finish was deadly but it should have never come to that
 Wolves sensed the nervousness and went for the kill, scoring the second when Dendoncker gobbled up from close range after yet more kamikaze play from Lloris and his defenders
 It seemed like Tottenham were completely switched off from the job in hand from the first whistle, with their passing out from the back shambolic at times and the lack of reactions to danger in their box equally as bad
Conte needs to take some responsibility for that
 Spurs' task of Champions League qualification is getting tougher by the week
 said: "To describe the defeat is difficult
 It was one of the best games we've played - we created lots of chances to score
 We had the possession but it's also difficult to explain how we started by conceding two goals - it's difficult to comment on the two goals we conceded
 It's not easy when you start the game in this way
 Until the end we pushed and tried to score
 We created chances
 But we are talking about another defeat
 We will continue to work and we have to struggle every time we play to get three points
"The environment is used to playing for fourth place and Champions League but now I think everybody has to realise something has changed compared to the past
 We have to know this
 I'm doing everything to improve the situation
 The environment has to understand our position in this moment
"When you lose two games at home and against Chelsea for team that want to qualify for the Champions League, it's impossible to happen
 We know we have to fight to build something important with the situation but it's important to know the situation
 Maybe our fans shouldn't be disappointed with the defeat instead they should try and push us and stay behind us
 The players need to find the right atmosphere and feel no pressure about a target that in this moment you can't think you reach this target
 I've been saying this since my arrival
"Bruno Lage, meanwhile, played down Wolves' own top-four hopes despite the statement win
Wanderers are very much in contention for Champions League qualification after going under the radar this season, and the result kept them on the coat-tails of Arsenal, Manchester United and West Ham
But the former Benfica coach insisted he was not dreaming of the promised land just yet
"I will not dream, I will only dream of Leicester, they are a very strong team, very hard to beat," Lage said, talking of next week's game against the Foxes
"Every game is a hard game that is why in the last week I have been talking about character
 I don't believe to talk about dream
"[We will] continue to work hard, the way we are working
 One day at a time, training by training, game and game
 We cannot think about too much in the future
"The goal is every time to improve the way we are working
 The most important thing is that
 I don't promise anything
"For me the challenge is to recover the team, try to understand our game to try to decide our best XI to go on the pitch and try to play the way we played today
