You could have heard a pin drop on Tottenham’s return flight from Merseyside on Sunday evening.
Unsurprising, really, given what had transpired at Everton a few hours earlier. The 3-2 scoreline did not reflect what was a chastening afternoon for Spurs’ forlorn players.
Their first-half capitulation goes straight into the club’s hall of shame alongside the ignominy of falling 5-0 behind after 21 minutes at Newcastle in April 2023.
Tottenham have won once in 10 Premier League matches — at bottom club Southampton, who are on course to become one of the worst teams in the division’s history in terms of points won.
