Tottenham Hotspur surprisingly suffered a 1:2 defeat Ipswich town on Sunday, continuing their inconsistent start to the Premier League season.
The defeat is a huge blow for Spurs, who had the chance to overtake their London rivals Chelsea And arsenal with a win in the table. Instead, they go into the international break with their fifth defeat in eleven games.
Ipswich took the lead in the 31st minute with an acrobatic finish Szmodics. Liam Delap He then doubled the visitors’ lead at the start of the second half Rodrigo Bentancur scored a goal for Tottenham in the 69th minute.
Since the start of last season, Spurs have now conceded the first goal in 13 of their 14 Premier League home games – more than any other team. Manager Ange Postecoglou will be concerned that his team often falls behind, forcing them to chase games and leaving them vulnerable defensively.
The defeat also raises questions about the star striker’s fitness Son Heung-minwho has struggled with a persistent hamstring injury this season. Son showed his quality but was guilty of a missed shot as Tottenham looked for an equaliser.
Tottenham’s next game sees them travel for the title Manchester City on November 23, before a series of games against Fulham, Bournemouth And Chelsea. Postecoglou hopes that his team can quickly regain the consistency that has been missing so far this season.
