The stats that shame Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou’s side’s abysmal run since December laid bare with shocking numbers on several fronts
Tottenham suffered another setback as they were beaten 2-1 at home by Leicester on Sunday.
Despite taking the lead through Richarlison, Tottenham ended up being beaten, with Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss both scoring for Leicester.
Ange Postecoglou’s side are languishing in 15th place in the Premier League table and have already suffered 13 league defeats this season.
This result will cause further questions to be asked regarding Postecoglou’s future at the club.
Although the Tottenham boss has had to contend with a host of injuries he will have been hugely frustrated with some of his team’s performances this campaign.
Here’s a look at some of the statistics that shame Tottenham, with their league results since the start of December having been of particular concern.

Furthermore, in that time period only Southampton (one) have picked up fewer points than Tottenham (five).
In addition, since the start of last month only Southampton (28) have conceded more Premier League goals than Tottenham (24).
Incidentally, Tottenham’s only Premier League win since the start of December came away to Southampton when they secured a 5-0 triumph. They also drew with Fulham and Wolves.
Postecoglou’s side have endured defeats by Bournemouth, Chelsea, Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Arsenal, Everton and now Leicester.
Since the start of December they have conceded an alarming 24 goals in the league.
