Lucas Bergvall stood dejected in the centre of the pitch. Archie Gray comforted the 19-year-old, offering encouragement as they walked over to the travelling Tottenham Hotspur supporters after the final whistle. On his way back to the tunnel, Rodrigo Bentancur was next to console Bergvall, who, minutes before, lost the ball to Matheus Cunha, allowing the Brazilian in on goal to score Wolverhampton Wanderers' fourth goal in a 4-2 win.

Having received the ball on the edge of his area, Cristian Romero had two conservative options: a square knock to Rodrigo Bentancur, or a 10-yard ball upfield to Lucas Bergvall. But, for better or worse, nothing about Romero's game is conservative. Rather than either of the above, he fired a 20-yard pass to James Maddison, who controlled the pass with his left foot before spreading it out with his right to Son Heung-min.
