Stoke 3-0 Tottenham

TOTTENHAM’S Champions League hopes were extinguished in the most embarrassing fashion on Saturday as they suffered their heaviest defeat to Stoke in 80 years.

Charlie Adam rammed the abuse he received from the travelling fans right back down their throats with a close-range header and Steven Nzonzi made it 2-0 before Vlad Chiriches was sent off for a second yellow card.

And Mame Diouf rounded off the very one-sided 3-0 hammering late on.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino will not be looking forward to watching replays of the three goals his team gave away, all coming from defensive lapses.

Jan Vertonghen nodded the ball right into Adam’s path for his goal and a mix-up between Hugo Lloris and Eric Dier meant Nzonzi had the easiest of finishes to round off the win, which means Stoke have equalled last year’s total of 50 points with two matches left.
