Just when it looked like things were improving for Tottenham Hotspur after three successive Premier League wins, they were beaten 1-0 by Leeds United on Saturday afternoon.
Leeds were without a win since September 14 coming into the clash with Tottenham, who had moved into the top half of the table following their victory against Crystal Palace last Saturday.
You wouldn't have guessed that in the first half at Elland Road, where Spurs were often second best to Daniel Farke's men, who looked determined to go into the international break without a win.
The winning goal didn't come until the 79th-minute from Noah Okafor, but it was enough to separate the sides, with Roberto De Zerbi now left to stew over the result for two weeks before they host Ipswich Town.
Of course, Tottenham will argue that they should have been playing against 10 men for the majority of the encounter, after Jayden Bogle's tackle on Mathys Tel went unpunished even after a four-minute VAR check.
Former Premier League referee Mike Dean disagreed with the decision, saying on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday that it '100%' should have been a red card, with Tel unable to continue.
The young Frenchman has since been seen leaving Elland Road on crutches and in a protective boot, with De Zerbi fearing that it is a bad injury.
Tel was one of Tottenham's more lively players on the day, but some of his attacking teammates simply didn't do the business.
The likes of Mohammed Kudus and Dominic Solanke failed to impress many Spurs supporters with their displays in Yorkshire, and it was another poor display from summer addition Omar Marmoush too, who continues to flatter to deceive in a Tottenham shirt.
Marmoush Looks Like Another Brennan Johnson
There was excitement when Tottenham completed the double signing of Savio and Marmoush from Manchester City in the summer transfer window, but it's fair to say that neither player has really got going in a Spurs shirt yet.
The former has looked good when he has been on the pitch but has been affected by injury, and is currently on the sidelines.
Meanwhile, Marmoush has started eight of the north London outfit's previous nine Premier League matches, but he has struggled to make a big impact in the final third under De Zerbi.
It appears as though the Egypt international is still trying to find his best role and position in the team, but he doesn't look comfortable enough when he is deployed in a centre-forward role.
That is the position he started in against Leeds, but aside from a tame effort from a cut-back, he offered very little, and was equally anonymous when he moved to the left after Dominic Solanke was introduced in place of the injured Tel.
Marmoush was handed a 3/10 rating for his display by Spursweb, having been replaced in the 65th minute by Dejan Kulusevski.
Marmoush is quickly becoming another Brennan Johnson at Tottenham, given his inconsistent displays.
The Welshman was a player who had the ability to make a difference in the final third for Spurs, but he often flattered to deceive and frustrated supporters with some of his decision-making.
Johnson only left Tottenham for Crystal Palace in January of this year, but the Eagles were seemingly unimpressed with what they saw too as he is now an Everton player.
Tottenham need to see more from Marmoush and quickly, because as things stand he appears to be going down the same route as Johnson before him.
