Their last Premier League fixture also ended in defeat, a 2\u20131 loss at bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers. Yet those results are outliers in otherwise steady form so far in 2026.

A dramatic first leg against <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Atl\u00e9tico Madrid involved a number of errors and a disastrous competition debut for goalkeeper Anton\u00edn Kinsk\u00fd. The result at the Metropolitano Stadium continued an awful run of form for Spurs, and saw them defeated in six consecutive matches for the first time.
