Since Antonio Conte was fired, Tottenham has only won once in five games and has worsened. The fixture against Newcastle was seen as a crucial tie in their quest for a top-four finish, but the defeat leaves Spurs with a mammoth task ahead with seven games to be played.
The North London outfit are currently in sixth place in the league, and their hopes of Champions League football are slim, as they are six points behind Manchester United and Newcastle United who have two and one games in hand respectively. Spurs still have seven games left in the season, including a battle against Manchester United on Thursday, followed by a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday.
Ryan Mason is now interim manager to lead the Spurs camp, as chairman Daniel Levy searching for a new long-term head coach.
