Ange Postecoglou has not cut such a dejected figure in his 15-month reign as Tottenham boss as he did after their sorry Premier League capitulation at Brighton, a defeat he called "as bad as it gets".
Spurs had been coasting to what appeared the most straightforward of victories on England's south coast on Sunday, having outplayed Brighton at the Amex Stadium with some scintillating stuff to be 2-0 up at halftime though goals from Brennan Johnson and James Maddison.
But demonstrating the inconsistency that's become a Spurs hallmark - and not just under Postecoglou - the Australian's team were almost unrecognisable after the break, folding so meekly that they conceded three goals in 18 minutes to Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter and Danny Welbeck.
