- Interim manager apologises after Spurs are thrashed 6-1
- Hugo Lloris says performance was ‘very embarrassing’
Cristian Stellini and Hugo Lloris both issued apologies to Tottenham’s supporters following the team’s humiliating 6-1 defeat against Newcastle on Sunday, with Lloris describing the display as “very embarrassing” and “very painful”. Stellini called it “the worst I have seen”’.
Newcastle’s win, in which they race into a 5-0 lead inside 21 minutes, moves them to third, two places and six points clear of Spurs, whose hopes of Champions League qualification took an almighty knock.
