Tottenham Hotspur were beaten 2-0 last night and some Spurs fans were disappointed but not particularly surprised.

A number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to bemoan the Spurs Under-21s’ EFL Trophy loss on Tuesday night, which culminated in their elimination from the competition.

Tottenham’s youngsters headed to Gillingham hoping to leapfrog Colchester to advance to the next stage but they found themselves behind on 24 minutes when Alex Jakubiak rifled a low powerful shot underneath Spurs goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman.

In the second half, Spurs showed some nice touches in the middle of the park but struggled to threaten their opponents and, on 78 minutes, they were all but finished when a cross to the back post found the unmarked Jack Tucker to slam home a diving header.

The Tottenham U21s performance and result was all too familiar for plenty of Spurs fans, who have witnessed some poor displays over the course of the season, and come full time, quite a few made their feelings known on social media.

Tottenham’s youngsters are back in action on Friday 22 November when they play Everton U23s away.
