Palace ace's double condemns Spurs to worst Prem season

- MIKE WALTERS

IT'S official this is the worst Tottenham Hotspur team in Premier League history.

After the cheerful distraction of reaching the Europa League final, it was back to the same old, same old with a record 20th defeat in 36 games on the home front.

Does that matter if Spurs finally end 17 years without a trophy in Bilbao next week and win the golden ticket to the Champions League?

Absolutely not. But if they finish the season empty-handed again, the inquest into Tottenham's valiant contribution in the race to the bottom will be unforgiving.

Crystal Palace's dress rehearsal for their FA Cup final with Manchester City on Saturday was pitch perfect and two-goal Eberechi Eze led the way with his latest swaggering, stylish masterclass.

But this was simply embarrassing from Spurs. They are lucky it wasn't five or six.

If Ange Postecoglou thinks they can just turn on the taps against Manchester United in Basque country next week, he had better hope that the team he chooses is in better working order than this shower.
