Roy Keane has criticised Tottenham's lacklustre defending during their 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa as 'Spursy' after they went from a goal ahead to losing.
Having taken an early lead through Giovani Lo Celso, Spurs missed out on an important three points with Ollie Watkins sealing the deal with a winner in the second half.
Speaking after the match on Sky Sports, pundit and former Arsenal star Karen Carney said that Tottenham made it 'far too easy' for their opponents.
On Ollie Watkins' winning goal, Carney pointed out that there was 'no one pressing them' despite some good skill from the Villa forward.
Roy Keane was quick to agree: 'Really poor defending from Spurs. You've got to get tight and be aggressive, they've just switched off at the wrong time.
He continued: 'Lovely goal from Villa, but defensively from Spurs... really Spursy'.
Tottenham have now faced their third defeat on the trot in the Premier League, despite a winning start to the 2023-24 campaign.
However, Ange Postecoglou's side have faced the wrath of injuries, including Rodrigo Bentancur who was substituted off early in the first half after a challenge from Matty Cash.
Michael Dawson added: 'If you give teams that are good in attack a little bit of an edge, an opportunity, they'll take it. Ollie Watkins does that.

Respect to Spurs, but you've to agree with Keane on this. Spurs have earned the reputation to be 'Spursy' and nobody can take that away from them
