Spurs slip deeper into relegation trouble after loss to Palace

Furious fans in the half-empty arena jeered interim boss Tudor and his team at the final whistle after thousands headed home long before Tottenham were put out of their misery.

Languishing in 16th place, Tottenham are just one point above the relegation zone after third-bottom West Ham's win at Fulham on Wednesday.

They have lost five successive league games and are without a win in 11 consecutive top-flight matches for the first time since 1975.

With just one win in their last 13 home league games, Tottenham are in grave danger of playing in the second tier for the first time since 1977-78.

Tottenham are in danger of sleep-walking to a relegation that would cost them as much as £260 million ($346 million), according to a report this week.
