The Spurs U18s team led 2-0 away at the Gunners but three goals in the last few minutes gave the hosts a 3-2 win.
While Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up to officially move into their brand new stadium, things aren’t going quite so smoothly on the pitch.
Spurs’ last five games in domestic competition have yielded just one point, at home against Arsenal, while losing against Burnley, Chelsea, Southampton and their last game, against Liverpool.
On Tuesday afternoon, Tottenham had to deliver yet more bad news relating to on-pitch matters as the club’s Under-18s fell to a 3-2 defeat against bitter rivals Arsenal in the Under-18 Premier League.
Just over a week since they played out the very first fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, beating Southampton in front of 28,987 people, the Lilywhites looked set for another bright result against the Gunners.
Spurs led 2-0 by the 35th minute of the game at London Colney and despite having lost Luis Binks to a 40th-minute red card, were still two up heading into the last five minutes of normal time.
However, Bukayo Saka struck for Arsenal in the 86th minute, before Brooklyn Lyons-Foster put the ball into the back of his own net a minute later, and Ben Cottrell completed the turnaround with his 91st-minute winner.
Tottenham posted the full-time score on Twitter and needless to say some fans really didn’t want to hear it:
