If most of the attention is focused on the current difficulties of the two Manchester clubs, the situation of Tottenham has not been more glorious in recent weeks. And Spurs have just fallen once again this Saturday, when they hosted Newcastle. A defeat (1-2) which could see them sink further in the rankings.
Although Dominic Solanke still tried to save his team by opening the score in the fourth minute of play, the smiles quickly faded from the faces of the London supporters as Anthony Gordon put Newcastle back afloat two minutes later (1-1) . Worse, the Magpies’ gunner, Alexandre Isak, gave his team the advantage shortly before the break (1-2, 38th).
The crisis is brewing
No more goals will be scored in this game ultimately lost by Tottenham who continues a fourth match in a row without success in the league (three defeats and a draw). The situation of Ange Postecoglou’s men is problematic with this eleventh place, and it could become even more so since depending on the other results to come in this twentieth day, they could find themselves fourteenth.
However, an unlikely scenario since the Spurs pursuers are facing big fish. West Ham (13th), for example, plays against Manchester City (4 p.m.) and Manchester United will go to Liverpool on Sunday (5:30 p.m.). But the crisis is brewing very seriously at Tottenham.
