And fans say they were blessed with the visit from Dr Tottenham to cure their lack of victories.

One said: “Dr. Tottenham. Never fails to cure those in need.”

Another added: “Imagine not thinking Dr Tottenham is a thing.”

One swiped: “Death, taxes, and the Dr Tottenham cure.”

Another said: “Never underestimate Dr. Tottenham.”

Spurs fell to their fourth defeat in nine Premier League matches as manager Ange Postecoglou admitted fan frustration will be rife.

He said: “It was one of those games with a lot of stoppages and battles and they ended up winning a lot of them and coming out on top.

“There was a lot of disruption and it was hard to get any fluency. They did better than us.

“It turned into a game they were thriving on and we should have dealt with it better.

“It was a poor goal to concede, it had nothing to do with playing out from the back. That can happen.

“I’d be very surprised if they were happy right now. Why would I be happy? If I’m unhappy then they’ll be unhappy.

“If you’re suggesting that our fans weren’t happy with today then that’s a fair assessment.”
