Iwobi piles more pain on Spurs as drop fears rise

As each passing week goes by, the threat of relegation becomes more real for Tottenham. The monster not only exists but is getting closer. Fear is beginning to make itself seen in their play.

Defeat yesterday was not only far more emphatic than the scoreline might suggest, but it was their fourth reverse in a row, extending their run without a win in the Premier League to nine. The only sliver of relief was all their relegation rivals lost as well.

But this was grim stuff from Spurs. Igor Tudor had hoped the 4-1 defeat in the north London derby would be a wake-up call. But if anything, this was worse. Arsenal won because they are better than Tottenham; Fulham won because Spurs were terrible. Tudor, the arch-firefighter, has ahuge job on his hands.
