Losing football matches has been quite commonplace for Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur this season. With Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the fourth round of the A Cup, Tottenham have now lost in 16 matches this season across all competitions.

Tottenham have suffered their second cup exit of the week as Ange Postecoglou's side lost 2-1 at Aston Villa. Spurs were brushed aside in their Carabao Cup seemifinal second leg at Liverpool in midweek as Arne Slot's side easily overturned a 1-0 defeat in North London with a 4-0 win on Merseyside.

Ange Postecoglou has given his shattered Tottenham Hotspur players two days off as he attempts to hit the reset button on the club’s season.
