For the second away game in succession, Tottenham Hotspur found themselves three goals down inside 15 minutes.
After suffering a harrowing 6-1 defeat at Newcastle United last weekend, which saw Eddie Howe's five-nil up at half-time, this result saw Cristian Stellini removed from his post as interim manager and many Spurs supporters calling for answers over the lack of effort on show.
Taking action to rebuild trust among those who made the trip to St James' Park, Tottenham refunded those who made the trip to the North East after the dismal display produced by the first-team after acknowledging the embarrassing nature of this damaging result to a direct rival in the race for the Champions League.
