Struggles for Tottenham
Tottenham’s wait for silverware extends to 2008, and Postecoglou’s ambitions to secure a trophy in his second season face yet another hurdle.

Salah added a penalty, and Szoboszlai netted a third, courtesy of a brilliant assist from Connor Bradley. Van Dijk capped off the scoring with a header from a corner, highlighting Tottenham’s defensive woes.
