But Jan Vertonghen popped up with the winner in injury time as he headed home Christian Eriksen’s corner.
It means Wolves sink to eighth in the table, two points off Spurs who leapfrogged them into fifth.
Despite the agonising manner of the defeat, plenty of the Molineux faithful were waxing lyrical on social media about the team, with Joao Moutinho coming in for particular praise.
‘Superb’, ‘quality’ and ‘outstanding’ were three superlatives used by fans to describe just how good the 33-year-old was in midfield while one supporter specifically said he was the best player on the pitch.
The Portuguese playmaker has been lighting up Molineux all season having scored one goal and assisted nine others, per Transfermarkt, leading to other members of the old gold faithful to hype him up to be the best they’ve ever had at the club.
One fan said he was easily the best player he’s seen in the west Midlands in 40 years, so much so that not even Spurs’ England midfielders of Eric Dier and Dele Alli were even close to him while another labelled him ‘unbelievable.’
Moutinho was rewarded with a two-and-a-half-year contract extension only a few months ago so fans at the club will be delighted to see him continue to thrive in their midfield, and just like a fine wine, he appears to be getting better and better with age.
