On the surface, this was a potentially damaging night for Tottenham, with consequences far beyond the end of their unbeaten run and a 4-1 defeat to one of their biggest rivals inflicted by Mauricio Pochettino.
Spurs will be without Cristian Romero for the next three games and Destiny Udogie for Saturday's visit to Wolves after both defenders were sent off, while Micky van de Ven is surely facing a far longer spell out of the side after pulling up with a serious-looking hamstring injury.
