Igor Tudor unable to defend position at Tottenham amid Antonin Kinsky criticism and record-breaking successive defeat

Igor Tudor was unable to say whether he deserved to continue at Tottenham after becoming the first Spurs head coach to lose each of his first four games in charge.

Tudor endured his most disastrous game yet as Spurs boss - and there is already plenty of competition despite his short 24-day tenure - as Atletico Madrid thrashed his side 5-2 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

His questionable decision to drop experienced goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and hand 22-year-old Antonin Kinsky a first Champions League start backfired spectacularly, forced to U-turn after just 17 minutes when Kinsky's mistakes led to two of Atletico's three early goals.

Kinsky looked inconsolable when he was replaced by Vicario, who conceded just five minutes after coming on - Robin Le Normand scoring Atletico's fourth - at which time it became inevitable that Spurs would fall to a sixth consecutive defeat for the first time in the club's 143-year history.
