DEJAN KULUSEVSKI has urged Tottenham fans to stay behind the team after Aston Villa condemned them to a third consecutive defeat.
Villa leapfrogged Spurs into the top four, as goals from Pau Torres and Ollie Watkins earned the visitors a 2-1 comeback win after Giovani Lo Celso opened the scoring.
Depleted Spurs, who were without 10 players and lost Rodrigo Bentancur to another injury in the first half, had three Heung-min Son goals ruled out for offside, twice hit the post and forced a string of saves from Emi Martinez.
Villa also had a Watkins goal disallowed for offside and struck the woodwork in an entertaining contest.
Spurs’s latest reverse follows defeats by Chelsea and Wolves, and next up is a daunting trip to Manchester City on Sunday, but Kulusevski insists they will return to winning ways if they improve mentally and stick to Ange Postecoglou’s approach.
He said: “I really hope [the fans] stay with us because we will win in the future if we continue [to play] like this.
“It is important that we stay together, everybody in this club, and outside is not important what anybody else says. Inside, everybody needs to have a positive energy and help us players, because we will bring them happiness.
