For Tottenham Hotspur supporters, who have endured all of 2026 without a league win, the result at Wolverhampton Wanderers felt like a breath of fresh air after months of suffocation.
However, clarity is more valuable than euphoria right now—and the league table makes one thing clear: Spurs are not safe, and their Premier League status remains in jeopardy.
The immediate picture is encouraging. The psychological weight of a first league win since December cannot be dismissed—a squad dragging itself through fixture after fixture without reward needed this. The danger, as ever, is mistaking relief for security.
West Ham’s win over Everton meant there was no favour from elsewhere. The Hammers remain above Spurs in the table, and their ability to grind out results under pressure makes them a stubborn obstacle.
Spurs cannot rely on others faltering—they must accumulate points themselves and do so consistently, something they have struggled with all season.
The remaining fixtures highlight the challenge ahead. Aston Villa away and Chelsea away are games where, given Spurs’ current form, defeat would be the expected outcome.
That context makes the Leeds United home fixture close to a must-win—a genuine six-pointer that could decide whether survival is secured comfortably or descends into chaos. Everton at home on the final day could prove either a celebration or a catastrophe.
Three wins from the final four matches would end any debate. Two would likely be enough, but could leave supporters facing an agonising final day. Anything less, and Spurs’ fate could depend on results elsewhere, which is the worst position to be in.
The win at Wolves was necessary, welcome, and remarkable in the context of this season, but relegation battles are not won in April—they are decided in the final weeks, and those weeks are now upon Tottenham.
