Tottenham threw away a 1-0 half time lead at White Hart Lane, going on to lose 2-1 against strugglers Newcastle United.
Eric Dier opened the scoring on 39 minutes, heading home an excellent Christian Eriksen corner.
But Newcastle came out the much better side after half time, eventually equalising through Aleksandar Mitrovic. Ayoze Perez’s volley won it for the visitors in stoppage time.
Newcastle have now won this fixture in each of the last three seasons. Here’s how Twitter reacted to the performance and result.
I'm afraid there's no way of dressing this up as anything other than a catastrophic defeat. Work to be done.

Fair enough. We were fucking terrible in the second half. And we had to lose sometime. Hopefully a wake up call for some! #COYS

That's the unbeaten run gone.. Can't believe we've bottled the chance of getting into the top 4 twice in the space of 7 days. Unbelievable.

Newcastle a bogey team for Spurs, it seems. Lost each of their last three home league meetings with the Magpies.

Third season in a row Newcastle have beaten Spurs at WHL on a Sunday. Deserved it. Spurs so sloppy second half. #THFC

Congratulations Newcastle. Magnificent second-half. Not going to hang about to read couch coaches. Put it down to a bad day at the office.

Newcastle thoroughly deserved that, they were excellent in the second half. Spurs were poor, particularly in central midfield again.

So many poor performances in that second half. unbeaten run is over. Maybe we can actually try and win games rather than try and preserve it

This season has been excellent on the whole so far but today's a crash back to reality. Must sharpen up against Southampton. I trust Poch.

That was a #THFC performance of old. Allowed complacency, and perhaps a little overconfidence/arrogance, to creep in. Timely reality check.

Boos, 'pathetic', 'garbage' – it's over-reaction o'clock in the world of THFC.

I usually defend the team after bad games but there can be no excuses after that. Pisspoor performance in a game we should easily have won.
— Tom Edwards (@tomedwards) December 13, 2015
It’s taken this long for Dier, Lloris, Alli, Kane to all have a bad game at the same time.
— T H F C (@thfc) December 13, 2015
Still mystifies me that Spurs have only one striker at the club. No Plan B in times of struggle.
— Mark Butcher (@KOwriting) December 13, 2015
I feel embarrassed that Spurs got tactically outdone by Steve McClaren. Both his subs scored and we got done everytime on the counter #COYS

We have a paper thin squad which we all knew and saw today what could happen if form dips from some of our main players.

In a season were anything and everything is up for grabs a new striker is a must in the window . Missed a big chance this week to stay in with a chance of top four . A gap is opening and players must ask themselves if they really want top four and the manager must ask what is more important . Top four or a cup run . Looserpool proved how close you can come with just the league to play for . Thursday should be for the fringe players and the youngsters ,the rest should rest .
I trust poch however not his boss mr Levy still no work on new ground and you know Enic will send us to Mk as its cheaper like when he buys players top 8 at best the team look completly spent and its not even xmas
Its time to go its time to go Daneil Levy and uncle joe
Poch isn’t a good coach or probably made a bad sub. Alli was the weak link yet he subbed Carrol him. It is pathetic to watch them at the second half.
Looks like same old Tottenham all over again.Our reaction is now important but I won’t hold my breath next weekend at Southampton.Why Carroll started is beyond me….MP tactically naive and if ” he is happy with his squad”, then God help us as you have to be blind to not realise that we need at least 1 more striker.Unfortunately MP is a yes man to every thing Levy says or thinks.Unfortunately another false dawns beckons…..
Complacent , lacklustre and arrogant ! We missed chance yet again to top4 panic lack of self belief we need to kill off games and teams. Play for 90plus mins and finish the job. Now they must show spirit and fight. Levy get your chq bk out and get a true striker and s creative midfielder. We cannot afford to come away empty handed AGAIN!!!
