Tottenham Hotspur have stumbled into the new Premier League campaign with back-to-back defeats, leaving fans anxious about a repeat of a historic slump. The latest setback came on Saturday as they fell 0-2 to Newcastle United, extending their winless and goalless run to two matches.
A Bottom-of-the-Table Start
The loss leaves Spurs rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table with zero points and no goals scored. Meanwhile, Newcastle climbed to third place with four points, highlighting the contrasting fortunes of the two sides.
Echoes of 1974-75
This poor start has triggered memories of the 1974-75 season, when Tottenham also lost their opening two league games without scoring. According to Opta, that scenario had not occurred since, making this an unwelcome piece of history for the club.
Pressure Mounts on De Zerbi
Manager Roberto De Zerbi now faces an early test of his leadership as he seeks to steady the ship. With the team struggling to find the back of the net, the priority is to halt the negative spiral and rediscover their attacking rhythm.
Supporters will be hoping for a swift response in the coming fixtures, as the club aims to avoid a prolonged battle at the wrong end of the table.
