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.

Two cup exits in a three-day span have left Tottenham staring at the prospect of another trophyless season and left manager Ange Postecoglou facing his biggest crisis in his time at the club.

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.
