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.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou defended his players after their FA Cup fourth round defeat at Aston Villa. Jacob Ramsey gave Villa a first minute lead, with Morgan Rogers also scoring for the hosts. Mathys Tel struck late for a Spurs consolation.

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.

Tottenham Hotspur's miserable week continued as they crashed out of the FA Cup with a 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa on Sunday evening. The loss comes just four days after their EFL Cup exit at Liverpool,
