Tottenham have lost 26 games in all competitions this season, the most in a single campaign in the club's history.
Tottenham suffered 22 losses in a league season for just the second time after 1934-35. It is also just the second time they have lost 10 home league games in a season after 1991-92 (11).

So the curtain has come down on Tottenham's season with a heavy defeat against Brighton.
There certainly seemed to be a hangover at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, following the club's Europa League win earlier this week, as Brighton were somewhat able to spoil Spurs' party on the final day of the season.
How are you feeling after that performance and at the end of a mixed campaign?
Sutton's predictions: Tottenham v Brightonpublished at 13:25 25 May

The proverb 'he who laughs last, laughs longest' certainly applies to Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou, who has answered his critics by winning the Europa League and will be able to enjoy a party atmosphere on Sunday too.
I am delighted for Ange because some of the flak he has taken has been extraordinarily over the top. One newspaper suggested he would be known as a clown if Spurs had lost Wednesday's final, which is the kind of thing I have not read since the days when England boss Graham Taylor was compared to a turnip.
The people who write that kind of thing either do not look at Postecoglou's track record or they have been dismissive of it. Fair play to him, because he came out a few months back and talked about always winning something in his second season at a club.
He said it because it was true and also because he believed he could win a trophy this season with Spurs too and, you know what, he has gone and backed it up. There were so many people out there who were desperate for him to fail, but he has rammed that down their throats.
Postecoglou is a good guy, but people were continuously trying to poke him and provoke him in interviews. He wants to stay as Spurs boss and I hope he does but, regardless of what happens in the summer, he has proved he is a winner. He is a legendary figure at Tottenham now, and I am absolutely made up for him.
His players gave everything against Manchester United and it was a defensive masterclass. I hear a lot about how Tottenham always play the same way under Postecoglou, but that wasn't 'Ange-ball' as I know it - with their lack of possession in that game (27%), it was more like 'Ange-wall'.
I am not sure how much the Spurs players will have left in their legs for this game, especially against a Brighton team who have found a bit of form, are playing with freedom and are also looking to secure eighth place and possibly a European spot too.
That's why I am going for the Seagulls to win - but I don't think the Spurs fans will care too much about this result, and understandably so.
Postecoglou on 'unbelievable' celebrations and 'building something'published at 14:35 24 May

Katie Stafford BBC Sport journalist
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has been speaking to the media before Sunday's final Premier League game of the season against Brighton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (kick-off 16:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
He said the celebrations have been "unbelievable" and his players have "certainly enjoyed themselves".
On the victory parade: "I think you need to celebrate your achievements properly. That was my message to the boys. It was important for them as they've achieved, it is important for those around them, and it is important to make experiences as memorable as possible."
He said they have created "a winning mentality and bond" between the staff, players and fans as "they are forever connected now, irrespective of what their futures hold".
On lifting the trophy: "We're really building something. I'm not going to put a limit on what we can achieve. I've got players and a club now who know how to win, so the possibilities are exciting."
He said he hasn't had any discussions with Daniel Levy about his future at the club, but joked: "I am sure someone will tell me something at some point, or I will just roll up for next year."
On his comments about the third season being better than the second: "I should have thought about it a bit more because sometimes they kill off the main character, so I could be in strife there!"
He said he feels "tremendous pride more than anything else" because the players "stayed true and still believed" in him. Postecoglou added: "All the burden you have been carrying has been rewarded."
On making club history: "They broke the drought, but hopefully there won't be another drought like it. They [the players] will want to have another moment and another night like Bilbao."
Cristian Romero, who "has been struggling with his toe for quite a while," will be rested and so will Son Heung-min, who continues to recover from a foot injury. Yves Bissouma is "a 50/50 at the moment" after suffering a knock in the final.
Player of the season - what fans are saying so farpublished at 12:32 24 May
Here are some of your comments on your selection, as well as some :
Nathan: It's hard to pick just one player as the starting XI has seemed to change for every match this season, for one reason or another. However, I've gone for Bergvall based purely on his energy, endeavour and desire. Some of the more senior players could learn a thing or two from his attitude! He's also the most improved player, in my opinion - with Spence a close second.
John: Kulusevski without any doubt. Every time he is on the pitch, he gives nothing less than 100% effort and commitment. What a player.
Tom: Not only has he over performed for his expected level, he's often lifted the team and tried to drive us forwards. Given his young age, that's as impressive for him as it is embarrassing for our older players who he's showed up. Easily a future captain of the club on current evidence. Honourable mentions for Brennan Johnson, Archie Gray and Wilson Odobert. All vital for us at times - and had Bergvall not so excelled, Johnson would be my top pick by a country mile.
Paul: Bergvall has been excellent and for such a young player he has shown tremendous maturity and has carried the team. An honourable mention must also go to Spence who has forced himself into the manager's thinking and has played out of position most of the time.
Daniel: Bergvall has been nothing short of exceptional in a team full of no-shows for a lot of this season. For an 18-year-old to do that in his debut season, in a new country, is largely unheard of and quite simply amazing. He deserves all the credit in the world. The one issue I have with him? He was injured for the Europa League final!

Tottenham v Brighton: Did you know?published at 11:14 24 May

Brighton came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 in the reverse fixture against Tottenham in October. However, they have never won consecutive league games against Spurs before.
Their visitors have aslso lost 21 league games this season, their most in a single campaign since 1976-77 (also 21). They have only lost 22 games in a campaign once, doing so in 1934-35 when they finished bottom of the top flight.
If they lose this game, Ange Postecoglou's side will become the first side in top-flight history to lose 22 games in a 38-game season and not be relegated.
Finally, Albion have had six Premier League goals both scored and assisted by substitutes this season, including their winner over Liverpool on Monday (Jack Hinshelwood assisted by Matt O'Riley).
In the competition's history, no side has ever had more goals both scored and assisted by substitutes in a single campaign.
Pick your Tottenham player of the seasonpublished at 17:48 23 May

Ali Speechly Fan writer
We asked our Tottenham fan contributor for their four candidates for player of the season and you can now select your top one.
Lucas Bergvall
Bergvall has more than lived up to the promise he showed in pre-season. Not only has he excelled on and off the ball, he has never stopped striving for the win. When more seasoned professionals around him have struggled to lead the team, this young player has risen to the challenge.
Dejan Kulusevski
Deki had a particularly strong start to the campaign and is integral to our pressing style and ball retention. Don't let his time out with injury shorten your memory - the Swede's statistics speak volumes as to his dominance in a Spurs shirt this season.
Djed Spence
A breath of fresh air and a much-needed injection of hope, Spence's performances this season have demonstrated what it means to play without fear. He has been a joy to watch as he took on the opposition with courage and creativity, driving us up the pitch at home and in Europe.
Dominic Solanke
The engine of our team, Solanke simply never gives up. Even when heads behind him in midfield have dropped, he has kept running, kept pressing, kept trying. Some will criticise the number of goals scored, but no-one should underestimate the crucial work Solanke has done off the ball for us this season.
Honourable mentions
Brennan Johnson still receives a mixed reception from some of the Spurs faithful, but you can't argue with his impressive goal contributions this season – not only the number, but the significance of some of the goals too. As for Archie Gray, what an outstanding first season from him - and in an unfamiliar position. Thrown in at the deep end, at times he outperformed his more experienced peers. To dare is to do, indeed.

'I don't think it will save him his job'published at 17:27 23 May

BBC Radio 5 Live senior football reporter Ian Dennis speaking on The Commentators' View podcast about Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham's Europa League win: "I don't think it will save him his job. I still think there is a parting of the ways.
"Postecoglou talks of still having a job to do but I think deep down, I think he knows. I wouldn't at all be surprised if he popped up in, maybe America perhaps."

Our senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel has taken a look at Tottenham's to-do list after winning the Europa League.
Sort out Postecoglou's future
Prior to this week's success, the expectancy was that Postecoglou would leave before next season, with the Australian ultimately paying the price for a dreadful domestic season.
BBC Sport understands the club are some way down the line in the process of identifying potential replacements for Postecoglou.
So with that in mind, if Spurs have the strength in their initial convictions then Postecoglou may still be on borrowed time.
That said, how do you dismiss a manager who has just led you to such glory?
Pay the bonuses
In the short term, Levy will sign off a £2m bonus to Postecoglou for lifting the club's first European trophy since 1984.
The players will also split a performance-related package of around £3m for their success, though it is understood that automatic pay increases for Champions League qualification are not universal across all personal contractual agreements.
Recruit experience
BBC Sport understands that the sense within the club's recruitment team is that their young squad should be supplemented with more experience.
For instance, an established central midfielder is believed to be on the club's radar this summer.
That is not to say Tottenham will abandon their remit of g young talent, with Southampton teenager Tyler Dibling a target.
And whoever is the manager will have a massive say as you would expect.
Tuchel wants to 'see new players' in action as Solanke misses outpublished at 12:06 23 May

England manager Thomas Tuchel has explained his rational behind not picking Dominic Solanke for June's respective World Cup qualifier and friendly against Andorra and Senegal.
The German says he has a "clear picture" of what the Tottenham striker can bring to his team, so it is a chance for him to see what Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney can offer.
In his news conference, Tuchel said: "I had a call with him [Solanke]. Of course he deserves to be with us.
"He has won a major trophy, a major title, now with Tottenham. He has been a big player for them this season.
"But he has already been in camp. I already have a clear picture of what Dominic can bring to this group and I know what he did when called up.
"Now is a moment to see new players and get a feel for them in the group."
'A game to suffer... worth it for every Spurs fan' - Klinsmann on Europa winpublished at 10:00 23 May

Jurgen Klinsmann, who won two Uefa Cups as a player, has been speaking about his former club's historic night in the Europa League.
What is your reaction?
"I'm thrilled for Tottenham, I am thrilled after such a long time, I am thrilled for the coach and the fans especially. It is a very prestigious trophy.
"We watched it here [at Fifa] as a group of coaches. It has been a game to suffer but it was worth it for every Spurs fan so I am very, very happy for them."
You worked with Son Heung-min with South Korea - are you happy for him?
"Well, the same happened with Harry Kane pretty much when lifting the German title with Bayern Munich and now Son has lifted the Europa League. It is fantastic. It is what you wish for every player who works hard for their entire career.
"I am very, very happy for both of them that they finally have something under their belt."
Win will have 'immeasurable effect' on Australian coaching - Bosnichpublished at 08:57 23 May

Former Australia and Manchester United goalkeeper Mark Bosnich believes Ange Postecoglou winning the Europa League will have an 'immeasurable effect' on their home country's coaching.
Postecoglou is the first coach from outside Europe or South America to win a European trophy after beating Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao on Wednesday.
"It's difficult to put into words the effect I think it will have on Australian coaching," Bosnich told BBC World Service. "We've had serial winners in of players, including myself, but never a coach.
"When I came back to Australia in 2008 and I was working alongside Ange on a TV , I he was rejected by Melbourne City, formerly Melbourne Heart, to be number two. He went for the assistant job but was rejected.
"To go from that through the A-League, Japan, Celtic and now be at the pinnacle in of the level of football, and win the second most important European trophy, will have an immeasurable effect on Australian coaches.
"All this adds to Australia one day becoming a major footballing nation."
