EPL: Rampant Wolves raid Wembley to hurt Spurs’ title hopes; Cardiff earn first away win at Leicester; Locadia gives Brighton 1-0 win over Everton

Tottenham Hotspur’s status as Premier League title chasers was seriously harmed on Saturday as they fell to a first defeat in seven league games.
The North London side gave away the lead to go down 3-1 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Harry Kane fired a largely unimpressive Spurs side in front midway through the first half, picking the ball up from deep out wide, cutting inside and finding the top corner from outside the area.
The goal was Kane’s fourth in three league games but was not enough to see off the dogged visitors.
Wolves had taken points off some of the biggest teams such as Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United in their return to the top flight.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side levelled in the 72nd minute with a towering header from a corner from French defender Willy Boly.
Mexican forward Raul Jimenez then gave them the lead in the 83rd minute and Helder Costa sealed the win with a counter-attack goal in the 87th.
A first home defeat since late October leaves second-placed Tottenham six points adrift of Liverpool, who can widen that gap when they host Arsenal later on Saturday.
Manchester City could reclaim second spot if they win at Southampton on Sunday.
Meanwhile, a 92nd-minute goal from midfielder Victor Camarasa and a penalty save from goalkeeper Neil Etheridge ensured Cardiff City beat Leicester City 1-0 for their first away victory of the Premier League season on Saturday.
Claude Puel’s Leicester, carrying momentum from consecutive wins against Chelsea and Manchester City, dominated the early exchanges at the King Power Stadium.
They then came close with long-range efforts from James Maddison and Ricardo Pereira.
Leicester had their best chance of the first half in the closing stages when Jamie Vardy was slipped through by Maddison, only for the striker to shoot straight at Etheridge.
The hosts looked certain to claim consecutive home wins for the first time this season when Maddison was clipped inside the box by defender Sean Morrison.
However, they were denied thanks to Etheridge’s heroics.
With Leicester supporters heading towards the exit, Camarasa curled the ball past goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel from the edge of the box to secure a dramatic win.
The victory takes Neil Warnock’s Cardiff up to 16th place in the league standings, four points clear of the relegation zone.
Also, Brighton & Hove Albion’s Dutch striker Juergen Locadia pounced just before the hour for them to beat an unlucky Everton side 1-0 in their English Premier League clash on Saturday.
After a pedestrian opening 45 minutes, tempers flared in the second half of Everton’s 4,500th game in the English top-flight.
When their forward Richarlison went down injured, Brighton declined to put the ball out of play.
The home side then took the lead in bizarre fashion as a Pascal Gross corner kick struck Everton midfielder Andre Gomes.
The ball dropped to Locadia who swivelled before smashing it home.
The goal was initially disallowed as Locadia was in an offside position, but referee Andrew Madley reversed his decision after consulting his assistant.
He ruled that no Brighton player had touched the ball before Locadia struck.
In spite of having a tough afternoon against Brighton centre-backs Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk, Brazilian Richarlison almost hit back immediately for the visitors.
But his wicked shot was deflected onto a post by goalkeeper David Button.
Kurt Zouma also hit the woodwork for Everton, sending his header from Gylfi Sigurdsson’s free kick onto the crossbar in the dying minutes.
The defeat left Everton with their fourth defeat in seven league games in December.
