Joke’s on Tottenham again but relegation might be the punchline
LONDON — The man who turned them down to pursue his boyhood dream, rolling up the Seven Sisters’ Road to add two more to the hat trick he scored last time out, Eberechi Eze the playground bully who reveled in the humiliation of the kids from up the road. It is at this moment that we have to deliver that immortal line from Giorgio Chiellini. “It is the history of the Tottenham.”
What future history books might tell us of this Tottenham team is worryingly unclear at this stage of the season. Spurs shouldn’t get relegated. They probably won’t. Bookmakers will happily offer you quite a bit of money to put yours on Tottenham going down.
Suppose, however, you were looking back in May, trying to explain how a club that takes three-quarters of a billion dollars in revenue has found itself bound for the Championship. What would have been the early warning signs? A hellacious injury crisis. No real sense of an on-field identity after years of muddled recruitment for players whose physical qualities do not offset their technical limitations. A manager in Igor Tudor with no experience of the Premier League, who might have less bounce than a dead cat after beginning his tenure with a hammering at Arsenal’s hands.
“I don’t know where we are going now,” was the cry that echoed from the stadium PA at the final whistle. The gags write themselves.
It didn’t need to end this way, mind. Tottenham hadn’t been the better team at halftime but the game was where they would have wanted it. Eze’s opener was cancelled out within 24 seconds of the restart, Randall Kolo Muani preying on overplaying by Declan Rice to thunder Spurs into a lead they held at the interval. It felt like dicing with danger when Tottenham’s pre-match MC Paul Coyte declared that Arsenal were “worried, nervous as hell” but when the visitors had frittered away another lead you could see his point.
The next steps looked relatively obvious, repeating the gameplan of the first half. Sit deep, soak up pressure and have a spring on the counter when the opportunity presented itself. Prey on those insecurities that keep rearing their head for Arsenal. It’s hardly the Tottenham way but given the talent disparity between Mikel Arteta’s side and hosts that have been laid low by a dozen injuries, it would have been a perfectly valid approach.
Instead, Spurs played as their manager had been urging them to in the first half, when every time you glanced at the touchline, you could see Tudor gesticulating for his center backs to get up the pitch. He wanted to see Tottenham press up against Arsenal, to engage them in one-on-one duels. When his players did as he wanted, the outcome was disastrous. There was no downturn in the number of progressive passes the Gunners completed, 33 in both halves, a negligible upswing in Arsenal’s touches in the opposition third that probably reflects them taking their foot off the gas at 3-1 and only one instant in which Spurs recovered possession in the attacking third.
“We wanted to press high but to press high from the back you need to jump,” said Tudor. “If you are late, you don’t take the ball and run again. We prepared to press high but we didn’t take the ball. We didn’t take the ball.”
For 45 minutes the Gunners got to play the sort of game they relish on European nights, their build-up players able to brush past physically inferior opponents and advance the ball into acres of space. Viktor Gyokeres has less space in some of the warm up drills than he did when he smacked the ball past Guglielmo Vicario to restore Arsenal’s lead.
They never looked like ceding it again. Some of that was due to the composure of Eze and the excellent Bukayo Saka, a lot of it was Tottenham pressing ahead with a gameplan they were incapable of implementing. “Nice to understand where we are,” was how Tudor put it postmatch. A harsher assessment would follow, that this was a moment to “look in the mirror”.
Tudor surely didn’t understand the cruelty in the following line to a club for whom the term unserious might be best applied. “What is this goal of this coach, these players, this staff? To become serious.”
“We need more time to be in the physical moment and situation that we can go strong and take the ball,” was another of the eye-opening remarks from Tudor. Time is one resource that is rapidly draining in this season. There are 11 Premier League games to go and the table is looking dicey to say the least. The gap to West Ham in 18th is just four points. At full strength Spurs have the talent to ease away from these sides but look at the XI Tottenham named Sunday. Would you definitely take that over Vitor Pereira’s?
Since the turn of the year, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have gained seven on Spurs, Nottingham Forest five. In that time, they have had a non-penalty of -0.46 per game. Forest’s is worse but West Ham’s points trajectory looks to be backed up by the data. Meanwhile Spurs’ looks altogether too sticky.
TruMedia
It will probably all be just about fine. Tudor said he was hopeful of shaving two off his injury list in time for next week’s trip to Fulham. Cristian Romero’s suspension is up over the international break, though whether his kamikaze temperament is well suited to a relegation scrap is an open question. It shouldn’t be too long until Pedro Porro, Destiny Udogie and Kevin Danso are back. The defense can improve.
The attack? The inconsistent Mohamed Kudus is a way off and even if James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski play again this season, it is hard to believe they will be anything like the best versions of themselves. Spurs might have added one to their tally of 37 Premier League goals this season but that is off the back of by far the biggest xG overperformance in the league. Tudor will need those long-injured stars to immediately return at the peak of their powers to enliven an attack that barely produces one non-penalty expected goal per game.
Framing this as a reality check was an understandable move by Tudor, a high point set by what he termed “probably the best team now in the world”. It is not the new manager’s fault at all but that moment of realization should have come months ago, perhaps the last time Eze and Arsenal were running the goals up against them. Since then a January window has passed by in which pledges of investment resulted in a prospect left back and, in Conor Gallagher, a better version of the sort of up, down low touch midfielder that Spurs were already well stocked with. That is yet another of those touchstones that might be looked back on with such grim
Of course, the picture might never look as grim as it does when you’ve just been beaten again by your greatest rivals, inspired by the man who left you in the lurch late in the transfer window. Right now it isn’t the gap to Arsenal that matters, it is the one to West Ham and Nottingham Forest.
That is looking altogether too close for comfort. Come the season’s end it should be just about big enough. While, however, this is still a team that fulfill those essential qualities Chiellini identified eight years ago, you can never be entirely sure that they won’t find a way to snare another defeat for themselves.
Mexico fears more violence after army kills leader of powerful Jalisco cartel
GUADALAJARA, Mexico — School was canceled in several Mexican states and local and foreign governments alike warned their citizens to stay inside, as widespread violence erupted following the army’s killing of the powerful leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho” was the boss of one of the fastest-growing criminal networks in Mexico, notorious for trafficking fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine to the United States and staging brazen attacks against government officials who challenged it.
He was killed during a shoot-out in his home state of Jalisco as the Mexican military attempted to capture him. Cartel members responded with violence across the country, blocking roads and setting fire to vehicles.
President Claudia Sheinbaum urged calm and authorities announced late Sunday they had cleared most of the more than 250 cartel roadblocks across 20 states. The White House confirmed that the U.S. provided intelligence support to the operation to capture the cartel leader and applauded Mexico’s army for taking down a man who was one of the most wanted criminals in both countries.
Mexico hoped the death of the world’s biggest fentanyl traffickers would ease Trump administration pressure to do more against the cartels, but many remained hunkered down and on edge as they waited to see the powerful cartel’s reaction.
Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco state and Mexico’s second-largest city, was almost completely shut down on Sunday as fearful residents stayed home.
Passengers arriving to the city’s international airport Sunday night were told it was operating with limited personnel because of the burst of violence.
Jacinta Murcia, a 64-year-old nutrition products vendor, was among those nervously walking late Sunday night through the airport, where earlier in the day travelers sprinted and ducked behind chairs fearing violence. Most flights into the city were suspended on Sunday.
Murcia anxiously scrolled through news stories on social media showing the face of “El Mencho” and sent messages to her children, who were tracking her location as she tried to travel across the city to her house after dark.
“My plan today leaving the airport is to see if there are any taxis, but I’m scared of everything. That there are blockades, that there’s a curfew, that something could happen,” she said. “I’m all alone.”
Authorities in Jalisco, Michoacan and Guanajuato reported at least 14 other people killed Sunday, including seven National Guard troops.
Videos circulating on social media showed tourists in Puerto Vallarta walking on the beach with smoke rising in the distance.
In another part of the airport a group of elderly Mexicans gathered, discussing how to get home.
“We better all go together,” one said. “Go with God.”
David Mora, Mexico analyst for International Crisis Group, said the capture and outburst of violence marks a point of inflection in Sheinbaum’s push to crack down on cartels and relieve U.S. pressures.
U.S. President Donald Trump has demanded Mexico do more to fight the smuggling of the often-deadly drug fentanyl, threatening to impose more tariffs or take unilateral military action if the country does not show results.
There were early signs that Mexico’s efforts were well received by the United States.
U.S. Amb. Ron Johnson recognized the success of the Mexican armed forces and their sacrifice in a statement late Sunday. He added that “under the leadership of President Trump and President Sheinbaum, bilateral cooperation has reached unprecedented levels.”
But it may also pave the way for more violence as rival criminal groups take advantage of the blow dealt to the CJNG, Mora said.
“This might be a moment in which those other groups see that the cartel is weakened and want to seize the opportunity for them to expand control and to gain control over Cartel Jalisco in those states,” he said.
“Ever since President Sheinbaum has been in power, the army has been way more confrontational, combative against criminal groups in Mexico,” Mora said. “This is signaling to the U.S. that if we keep cooperating, sharing intelligence, Mexico can do it, we don’t need U.S. troops on Mexican soil.”
Oseguera Cervantes, who was wounded in the operation to capture him Sunday in Tapalpa, Jalisco, about a two-hour drive southwest of Guadalajara, died while being flown to Mexico City, the Defense Department said in a statement.
During the operation, troops came under fire and killed four people at the location. Three more people, including Oseguera Cervantes, were wounded and later died, the statement said.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said via X that the U.S. government provided intelligence support for the operation. “‘El Mencho’ was a top target for the Mexican and United States government as one of the top traffickers of fentanyl into our homeland,” she wrote. She commended Mexico’s military for its work.
The U.S. State Department had offered a reward of up to $15 million for information leading to the arrest of El Mencho. The Jalisco New Generation Cartel is one of the most powerful and fastest growing criminal organizations in Mexico and began operating around 2009.
In February 2025, the Trump administration designated the cartel as a foreign terrorist organization.
Sheinbaum has criticized the “kingpin” strategy of previous administrations that took out cartel leaders, only to trigger explosions of violence as cartels fractured. While she has remained popular in Mexico, security is a persistent concern and since U.S. President Donald Trump took office a year ago, she has been under tremendous pressure to show results against drug trafficking.
The Jalisco cartel has been one of the most aggressive cartels in its attacks on the military — including on helicopters — and is a pioneer in launching explosives from drones and installing mines. In 2020, it carried out a spectacular assassination attempt with grenades and high-powered rifles in the heart of Mexico City against the then head of the capital’s police force and now federal security secretary.

Transfer rumors, news: Arsenal eye Sporting CP defender, Ben White future uncertain
Ben White could leave Arsenal this summer, while Luka Modric is reportedly open to returning home to Croatia. Join us for the latest transfer news and rumors from around the globe.

TRENDING RUMORS
– Ben White‘s future at Arsenal is uncertain, with the club closely monitoring Sporting CP right-back Iván Fresneda, according to TeamTalk. Premier League title rivals Manchester City are also keen on the 21-year-old — their sporting director, Hugo Viana, who used to work at Sporting, has driven their interest. Newcastle United are also reported to be interested.
– AC Milan midfielder Luka Modric could opt to rejoin Dinamo Zagreb after representing Croatia at the World Cup, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. The 40-year-old started his senior career with the HNL club and club president Zvonimir Boban was his idol. There are still other possible scenarios, though, as Milan have an option to extend Modric’s stay by a year, and they want him to remain with them but will only trigger the clause if he wants them to. There is also a possibility that the midfielder could decide to retire.
– Paris Saint-Germain are monitoring Olympiacos midfielder Christos Mouzakitis, as reported by Nicolo Schira. The 19-year-old, who has impressed so much with the Greek club that he won the 2025 Golden Boy award, has also been the topic of interest of several Premier League clubs. He has played 30 matches across all competitions this season, providing three assists.
– Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is Juventus’ preferred option as the Serie A club looks to replace Michele Di Gregorio, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport. The 29-year-old is valued at €25 million to €30 million and his salary of €4.5 million-per-year would fit within Juve’s parameters, but there is strong competition from Internazionale as they could need a replacement for Yann Sommer. If Juventus can’t sign Vicario, they could turn to Atalanta’s Marco Carnesecchi.
– A Tottenham scout was at Unipol Domus to watch Marco Palestra during Cagliari’s goalless draw against Lazio on Saturday, as reported by Nicolo Schira. The 20-year-old wing-back is on loan at Cagliari from Atalanta and played the full 90 minutes, seeing a goal ruled out due to an offside call. Various reports elsewhere have suggested that Palestra has received interest from big-name Serie A clubs.
