Tottenham have lost 4-0 against Newcastle and 3-2 against Arsenal in their last two Premier League games
Tottenham's woes continued on Thursday night as they were thrashed 4-1 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Spurs were down to nine men in the first half after Cristian Romero was sent off for a professional foul and Son Heung-min was shown a straight red card for a tackle on Antonio Rudiger.
Chelsea took full advantage of their numerical advantage and went ahead through Marcos Alonso's free-kick.
Romelu Lukaku doubled the lead before half-time and Timo Werner made it 3-0 in the second half.
Tottenham pulled a goal back through Harry Kane, but Kai Havertz sealed the victory for Chelsea in the dying minutes.
The defeat leaves Tottenham in eighth place in the Premier League table, nine points behind fourth-placed Arsenal.
Spurs have now lost four of their last five Premier League games and their hopes of securing a top-four finish are all but over.
Antonio Conte's side will need to regroup quickly as they face Arsenal in the north London derby on Sunday.
Conclusion
Tottenham's defeat to Chelsea was a humiliating experience for the north London club. They were outplayed by their opponents and deserved to lose by a bigger margin.
Conte has a lot of work to do if he wants to turn Tottenham into a title-challenging side. The Italian coach needs to improve his team's discipline and find a way to get more out of his attacking players.
If Tottenham do not improve soon, they could miss out on a place in the top four and Conte could be sacked.
