SARRY STATE OF AFFAIR

Ismaila on the double as Van de Ven sent off, fans walk at half-time and Spurs’ relegation fears become real

IGOR TUDOR was brought in to make an impact. Tudor has certainly done that - just not in the way Tottenham were hoping. They look even worse now than when he took over.

Spurs’ interim boss has lost his three games in charge, pushed the club closer to relegation and the fans have given up on him already.

Supporters left in their droves at halftime while those still in the stadium booed the players off after they pressed the self-destruct button.

Tottenham went from 1-0 up after 34 minutes to going in 3-1 down at halftime after their stand-in captain Micky van de Ven was sent off (inset).

The ever-optimistic stadium announcer Paul Coyte tried to convince the fans at the break:

“This game is a long way from over.” Not sure he was fooling anyone.

It is little wonder that angry supporters even turned on the club analysts sat in the stands. “Analyse that - we're f***ing going down.” It was hard to disagree.
