Each of the last two Spurs managers have lost their first Premier League match in charge of the club (Igor Tudor against Arsenal in February, Roberto De Zerbi against Sunderland), this after none of the previous nine Spurs managers (including caretakers) had lost their first league match in charge of the club. Tottenham remain one of just two teams in the Premier League this season who have failed to win a match after going behind, along with Wolves.
Overall, Spurs have gone behind in 23 different matches, going on to lose 16 of those and draw the other seven.
