The hosts had taken the lead through Richarlison but found themselve🍷s behind after 50 minutes with Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss scoring immediately after the break.

Tottenham have failed to win any of their last seven top-flight games (D1 L6), t🎃heir longest winless run in the top-flight since a nine-match stint between May and Octobe♏r 2008.

The defeat was also the first time since a loss to Notts County in 1912 that Spurs lost at home against a side who'd lost their previous seven league games ﷽in su♚ccession.

Ange Postecoglou's side sit 15th in the standings in a ꩵseason that has been hindered by several injuries to first-team players throughout the entirety𒀰 of their squad. 

Son, however, re𒉰fused to accept that their absentees were an excuse for their failings this term, saying: "It is painful. It's happened a few times already tꦰhis season.

"It 💫feels lik🔯e scoring goals is so hard, but conceding goals is way too easy. I haven't seen them back yet, but it is a lack of concentration, definitely, and a bit of sloppiness.

"We knew they were going to cಌome. We're going to have to sit down an♔d talk about what went wrong.

"I've played more games than 𒁏I expected, but that is our job. Mentally, we just have to refresh and get ready and go again. I know it can be tough.

"When you get wins you can get better feelings, but it is harder after today. It is ve🔯ry tough at the moment."

Tottenham are eight po🔯ints clear of relegation, ✨but Son did not want to place them in a battle to stay up.

"It is definitely not good enough. We've had way too maꦺny losses, but there are still a lot of games remaining, and we'll have a lot of players back," Son added. 

&qu⛎ot;We're not talking about anything, we just play each game and try and get thre♍e points."
