Tottenham must reset trophy clock if they're to end drought under Ange Postecoglou
Tottenham's FA Cup campaign came to an end on Friday night with a late 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in round four. Nathan Ake's goal was City's first at Spurs' billion-pound stadium in 538 minutes of action, bringing a grinding halt to the visitors' supposed curse and the hosts' quest for a domestic cup. Though the scoreline was level for 88 minutes, the gap in quality was rather evident. Tottenham tried their best to play their own way, but the experienced and ruthless City weren't having any of it, restricting Spurs to just a single shot all night long. For those in the stands, it was the resignation that their team is - barring a barnstorming Premier League run-in - going to finish another season without silverware. For those on the pitch, it was the end of a dream for a squad that would die for one another. Sure, Tottenham didn't really deserve to advance or even take the tie to a replay, but the despair lingered in the air more than a normal defeat...
