This was a humiliation that showed, if anyone still doubted it, that Tottenham Hotspur are lacking leadership and direction on the pitch and off of it, from within the squad, to the sidelines and up to those at the very top.
The clouds opened and the goals rained down. There was no anger on the pitch among the Tottenham players, no shouting matches, just a meek acceptance that this is what they have become. A disjointed mess with nothing guiding them, nothing bonding them and nothing inspiring them.
After the game Ryan Mason and Harry Kane, with some of the Spurs squad eventually following their path like Oliver Skipp and Eric Dier, went over to applaud the supporters who had made the long, expensive and ultimately pointless trip up the country only to be served up one of the worst performances seen in the Premier League's recent history.
