Not too long ago, many people were calling Tottenham the best team in the league, and some overzealous pundits even predicted that they might beat Chelsea to the title.
How one goal can change everything. Manuel Lanzini’s goal was enough to beat Spurs and end their 9-game winning streak in the league, and everyone can’t help but call them ‘bottle job’, as their title challenge collapses yet again.
That's the Tottenham we know!
Bottlers. Season over.#HaveYouEverSeenTottenhamWinTheLeague— Moh Haider (@ArsenalMoh8) May 5, 2017
Death, Taxes, and the Spurs bottle job.

Tottenham playing on a Friday against an out of form West Ham team with the whole world watching. Happy Spurs bottle job day everyone.

Sky Sports presenter and Manchester United fan Rachel Riley couldn’t help but join the trend.

And Tottenham fans can’t take it
Chasing run away leaders, closed the gap to 4, still not out of it but somehow we are bottle jobs. Ok

@RachelRileyRR really poor choice of words about Spurs tonight. Bottle jobs? Not true and extremely disrespectful.
