It was yet another disaster in Ange Postecoglou's never-ending tale of mishaps on Sunday, as Spurs once again fired ahead only to succumb to a humiliating loss against relegation-fighting Leicester City.
It was Tottenham Hotspur who claimed the day's first after Richarlison headed a Pedro Porro cross home from close range just after the half-hour mark giving the hosts an early lead.
In what is quickly becoming a recurring trend however, Spurs were unable to hold onto the lead, with Jamie Vardy fully capitalising on an Antonin Kinsky mistake to level the affair just moments after the second-half got underway.
Smelling blood, Leicester wasted no time taking advantage of Tottenham's capitulation and fired home a second goal through Bilali El Khannouss just four minutes later, leaving Tottenham scrambling for answers but ultimately unable to come back from the 2-1 deficit that condemned them to their 13th league loss of the season and 15th place in the standings.
Results aside, it proved a sobering day for Postecoglou and his men who were booed off the pitch - their only saving grace being the number of first team players currently ruled out through injury.

Postecoglou responds to questions about his Tottenham Hotspur future
While Postecoglou remained hopeful that their return in the next ten days would see Spurs rise out of their current slump, there was little getting away from the fact that the Australian's reign in London grows more untenable with every game his side play.
Asked in his post-match press conference whether he would get the ten days until his players returned, Postecoglou was unsure.
Who knows Mate. I reckon there is probably a fair chunk that will say no. When you are the manager of a football club you can be very vulnerable and isolated. I don’t feel that. I feel like this group of players, not for me, are giving everything for the club. I have a group of staff that is really committed. I focus on that. My role within that is to try and support these players.
But in terms of your question, is there anything I can say about that that is going to change anything that I need to do tomorrow morning? Nothing.
Postecoglou isn't the only man on the end of the Spurs faithful's wearing patience either, with the crowd at today's game making their feelings about chairman Daniel Levy known, chanting for his resignation after Sunday's loss.
Addressing those chants, Postecoglou admitted that there was a lack of unity in the club but said that they needed the fans more than ever.
Certainly something I wanted to try and do when I took on this role is to try to unify the club and create an environment here where we are all focused on the one thing. Obviously it hasn’t worked out that way. It’s understandable, like you said, the fans are not happy with our current situation. It is a difficult one to navigate because we need them right now, especially at home to create an atmosphere.
Sunday's loss leaves Spurs sitting on 24 points, ten outside the top ten and just eight points outside the relegation zone and has left nothing if not uncertainty about how long Postecoglou can remain in situ without a change in form.
