Tottenham have now done something not seen since 1912 amid Ange Postecoglou struggles

Yesterday at 06:15 AM

Tottenham are currently closer to the relegation zone than the top half of the Premier League.

A disastrous run of seven Premier League games without a win – six of those ending in defeat – has left Ange Postecoglou and Spurs 15th in the table.

All eyes are currently on Daniel Levy – who acted swiftly in firing the likes of Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte across recent years, long before things became this bad.

Postecoglou was even booed by Tottenham fans after withdrawing Richarlison and Pape Matar Sarr during Sunday’s shock 2-1 defeat against Leicester, while supporters also unveiled a banner against Levy and ENIC.

In the midst of the madness, Spurs have now done something not seen at the club since 1912.

Tottenham Hotspur make unwanted club history with defeat to Leicester City

No matter how bad things have been during ENIC’s 24 years in charge, Tottenham had never lost to a side on a seven-game losing run in the league under their ownership, until now.

As Opta revealed after Sunday’s shock result in north London, this current Spurs side have now become the first since a loss against Notts County in 1912 to taste defeat against a team on a seven-game losing run in league action.

Tottenham’s next five fixtures as Ange Postecoglou aims to turn bleak situation around

Tottenham now face a pivotal moment in their season.

Next up for Spurs and Postecoglou is a UEFA Europa League clash against Elfsborg – which Tottenham must win to ensure an automatic place in the Round of 16.

If they drop below ninth place, a two-legged playoff awaits.

Spurs then face a tricky Premier League test away to Brentford – only Liverpool boast a better record at home this season.

Speaking of Liverpool, Tottenham then embark on the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final clash against the Reds at Anfield, holding a 1-0 lead thanks to Lucas Bergvall.

Next up, Spurs must contend with an FA Cup clash at Aston Villa, before welcoming Manchester United to N17 for a Premier League encounter afterwards.

As you can see, Postecoglou needs to ignite a swift upturn in form – or else Tottenham could be out of two cup competitions within two weeks.
