Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou recently spent a night in London's West End watching "King Lear" at the invitation of Spurs-supporting actor Sir Kenneth Branagh.
It is hard to imagine the action in Theatreland matched the dramatic production his side staged alongside Chelsea on an utterly chaotic night.
The fatalistic Tottenham fans who viewed their superb start to the season as too good to be true had their worst fears realised in this a crazy, controversial 4-1 defeat.
No-one can accuse Spurs or Postecoglou of doing things by halves. Not after this.
This was the first time things have really gone seriously wrong for Spurs this season - and they went wrong in the most spectacular fashion in one of the most mind-boggling Premier League games of recent memory.
