Wolverhampton Wanderers comfortably beat Tottenham Hotspur to move above them in the table and inflict a third successive Premier League defeat on Antonio Conte’s side.

Tottenham gifted the visitors two goals in the opening 20 minutes thanks to a mixture of calamitous defending and poor goalkeeping by Hugo Lloris in north London.

It is the first time Conte has lost three league games in a row since his days managing Atalanta in November 2009.

Also, Liverpool won at bottom-of-the-table Burnley to record a fourth consecutive Premier League victory as they seek to stay in touch with leaders Manchester City.

In testing conditions at Turf Moor, Fabinho scored the game’s only goal just before half-time, the midfielder stabbing the ball home from a corner.

The win means Liverpool are nine points behind Leaders City with 14 games still to play, one more than their title rivals, who host the Reds in April.

In other games played, Newcastle defeated Aston Villa 1-0 to get out of the relegation zone.
