It was not a good weekend for Tottenham supporters.
Jose Mourinho suffered his first home defeat as Spurs boss and in the one game he would have been desperate to win too - against Chelsea, his former eomployers.
It was a big match in N17 and Spurs just did not turn up, with two Willian goals and a Son Heung-min red card enough to see the Blues take all three points.
And it meant Spurs lost ground in the battle for the top four too.
All the latest news from around Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and more is below in our round-up of the biggest stories.
Midfield problem
Tottenham were well beaten by Chelsea on Sunday.
It was a disappointing performance from Jose Mourinho's team against his old employers in what was such a big match.
Big mistakes cost the side, although they never really got going in the contest.
But mistakes aside, questions can and have been raised about the way Mourinho set up his side.
Here's a look at the big midfield problem the Portuguese must fix.
Mourinho's Rudiger taunt
Antonio Rudiger was at the heart of the big talking points from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
The contest was marred by racist abuse that was aimed at the German defender, with the game briefly being halted as a result.
Rudiger was also on the receiving end of that kick out by Son that ended with the Spurs star seeing red.
And while it looked bad on the replays, Spurs boss Jose Mourinho felt Rudiger was not blameless.
Son banned
Son Heung-min was sent off during the second half against Chelsea for kicking out at Antonio Rudiger.
The red card, issued by VAR, was for violent conduct and means Spurs will have to do without their South Korean forward for three games.
And it comes during a busy festive fixture schedule.
Here are the games he will miss.

That racist abuse was all anyone was talking about after the game in N17.
It should have been a time to discuss big moments on the pitch and a thrilling encounter between two big rivals.
Instead we were left talking, once more, about racism.
Spurs condemned the actions of the minority in the stands and have vowed to ban those responsible.
