Reported number 17 of the Shamolic Premier League campaign from Tottenham was one to emphasize what we already knew.
Match -Events
That they have given up this competition for a long time and that everything is on Thursday evening in Frankfurt.
The Europa League is the last remnant of respectability, and yet, carefree and sloppy versions such as this one has gone wrong for Ange Postecoglou.
Wolverhampton Wanderers were excellent. Faster in mind and deed everywhere on the field, with a goal of a goal that the visitors missed and were worth their fourth consecutive victory.
They continue to build and climb away from the soil under Vorror Pereira.
Spurs, however, were terrible, from errors-sewn by goalkeeper Gugliemlo Vicario to a half-hearted end, when they threatened to make it a competition to give the fourth Wolves goal to Matheus Cunha.
Maybe it all started with the team selection of Postecoglou, six changes to hint to players resting before they fly to Germany a week.
Captain Heung-Min Son and Wilson Odobert were spared the trip to Wolverhampton, left with injuries, but are expected to be fit for the Europa League.
Postecoglou took his position on the touchline for the second time in four days to see his team make a horrible start. Against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday they gave up within six minutes, but traces were left here in 86 seconds.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde knocked over a free kick from the wolves on the left and vicario hit Ait-Nouri, who put it down, of the turf and in the net of the edge of the penalty area.
Vicario complained, but the goal survived a long VAR check and shortly after the game started again, the Spurs keeper made a mistake, this time with the ball at his feet.
His mischined pass led to an opportunity that Jorgen Strand Larsen shot some broadly while he was sitting on the floor.
Tottenham improved and found a better pace halfway through the first half. Yves Bissouma forced a salvation from Jose Sa and Brennan Johnson in turn after a pass by Cristian Romero.
James Maddison grew into the game, but Spurs admitted a second for the interval. Once again Vicario was culpable and pushed a header from Marshall Munetsi against Spence, who was helpless when the ball hit him and came up close to the net.
Vicario could claim that it was distracted by Strand Larsen's run over his eye line, in an attempt to ward off the header of Munetsi, but the Norwegian striker made no contact.
Postecoglou opposed the urge to make changes during the break, but replaced two of his three midfielders shortly thereafter.
Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Bergvall slugged spurs, and they reduced the shortage when count in a low cross of Johnson tapped that Nelson Semedo had tried to remove inexplicably with a rear wheel and missed.
Five minutes later and it seemed as if defending Shamolic was contagious when Cristian Romero, under Tottenham's better players until that moment, took on a bad touch when he fell danger and was expropriated.
Ait-Nouri took the ball from Romero and crossed to Larsen who converted a simplest chance for his 12th goal of the season, his fifth in the last four games.
Matheus Cunha, back from his newest four-match ban and having affected Wolves fans with a social media post about following his dreams on the eve of this came, came from the bank to a mixed reception.
Richarlison had scored the second Van Tottenham and briefly threatened to make a fearful closure period for the home team.
Cunha, who also went close with a free kick, scored the fourth for Wolves, took the ball from Bergvall and surpasses Ben Davies before he liked it.
