As preparation goes for the biggest game of Tottenham’s season by some distance, this was an ominous if not pathetic performance. If it was not already the case, it increasingly feels like win or bust in the Europa League for Ange Postecoglou. After this defeat, a sixth in seven matches on the road, it is plausible to think Spurs could finish as low as 17th in the Premier League.
Spurs did not recover from conceding after just 85 seconds and a comical own goal by Djed Spence and a Jørgen Strand Larsen tap-in, after an error by their captain, Cristian Romero, were in keeping with a dreadful display.
