Tottenham Drop Into Relegation Zone After 5 Winless Games

3 articles · Updated · Sky Sports · Sep 19

Summary

  • Five matches without a win have left Tottenham in the relegation zone, deepening an early-season slide under Roberto De Zerbi.
  • Bad finishing and repeated defensive errors drove the latest defeat to Aston Villa, with Spurs described as wasteful in one box and self-destructive in the other.
  • De Zerbi called Villa's second goal "unacceptable" and, in a striking sign of frustration, said he did not speak to his players after the match.
  • The international break now interrupts any immediate reset, with some players not due back for more than two weeks as Tottenham try to stop the slump becoming another humiliating season.
