Tottenham Hotspur’s nightmare Premier League season has suffered a historic new low after they were beaten 2-0 by Aston Villa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ange Postecoglou<\/a>‘s side travelled to Villa Park on Friday night for their final top-flight away match of the campaign.<\/p>\n

The visitors suffered their 21st league defeat of the season as the hosts snatch all three points thanks to two second half goals.<\/p>\n

Ezri Konsa<\/a> opened the scoring by helping Ollie Watkins<\/a>‘ header into the net before Boubacr Kamara fired home from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n

Villa’s victory bolsters their hopes of a top five finish as they climb up to fifth in the table.<\/p>\n

Their fate remains out of their own hands, though, after Chelsea beat Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Manchester City can regain their place in the Champions League places by beating Bournemouth in their game in hand on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Postecoglou continues to break unwanted records for the North London outfit after going 12 league matches without a clean sheet for the first time since 2010.<\/p>\n

Spurs had already accumulated their most defeats in a single Premier League campaign<\/a> before their latest reverse.<\/p>\n

However, they have also now confirmed they will end the season on their lowest points tally in the league’s history.<\/p>\n

Prior to the current campaign, Spurs<\/a>‘ previous worst points return came in 1997\/98 as they finished 14th on 44 points.<\/p>\n

Following the loss to Villa, they head into the final day of the season on just 38 this term.<\/p>\n

It means even with a win at home to Brighton on May 25, Spurs cannot finish on anymore than 41 points.<\/p>\n

That tally would not have been enough to survive on one occasion in Premier League history, back during the 2002\/03 season.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, their current total would see Spurs relegated on at least four occasions, with goal difference coming into play in a further two seasons.<\/p>\n

As for their league position, Postecoglou could still end the campaign as high as 14th.<\/p>\n

However, both West Ham and Wolves are still to play this weekend and would move out of reach with a win and a draw, respectively.<\/p>\n

Those results would consign Spurs to their lowest finish in the Premier League era, previously 15th in 1993\/94.<\/p>\n

Jason Cundy calls Tottenham the worst team in Premier League history not to go down <\/p>\n

It would also be their worst final position since promotion back to the top-flight 47 years ago.<\/p>\n

On that occasion, they had been relegated in 1977 with a total of 33 points during a period where just two points were awarded for a win.<\/p>\n

When converted to the current points system, Spurs would have finished on 45, more than they can achieve this time around.<\/p>\n

Despite their poor league campaign, Postecoglou could still secure Champions League football this term.<\/p>\n

His side face Manchester United in the Europa League final<\/a> in Bilbao on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The winners will qualify for next season’s league phase as well as a place in the UEFA Super Cup final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham Hotspur’s nightmare Premier League season has suffered a historic new low after they were beaten 2-0 by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108003,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1612,102,49284,13,12,101,2358,14,1368,201],"class_list":{"0":"post-108002","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-ange-postecoglou","9":"tag-aston-villa","10":"tag-aston-villa-vs-tottenham","11":"tag-headlines","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-premier-league","14":"tag-spurs","15":"tag-top-stories","16":"tag-tottenham","17":"tag-tottenham-hotspur"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114521077635219578","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
