'Always a Gooner' - Arsenal fans love Ozil tweet about Spurs demise

Spurs fell to a 2-1 defeat against West Ham on Thursday night to see them go five matches without a win in the Premier League.

One statistic to arise at full-time will be a cause for concern for Ange Postecoglou's side, who sat top of the league at the end of October.

They are the first team in Premier League history to go winless in five consecutive matches despite taking a 1-0 lead in each.

Spurs are also the first side to fall to defeat in three successive games at home even though they went ahead in all of them.

Rival fans have been quick to revel in such poor form, with Ozil one of those to berate their inability to hold onto leads.
