Today, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has been let down – by its players, and by a group of its own fans.
The biggest game of the season so far, a chance to put down a statement under Jose Mourinho, and the team didn’t show up.
Unfortunately, some idiots in the crowd did, as Chelsea reported alleged racial abuse of defender Antonio Rudiger.

Instances like this are happening almost weekly now, in English football alone. You just never think it will be your club.
That is what hurts the most – more than the result – a deserved 2-0 victory for Chelsea thanks to a Willian brace. How will Davinson Sanchez, Moussa Sissoko etc feel walking off that pitch tonight?
Betrayed by their own fans – a very small minority, albeit.
This incident, a collectively hopeless performance and moments of individual stupidity, combined for a very dark day indeed.
These Spurs fans on Twitter were “enraged” and “embarrassed”.
