Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has apologised to supporters following 4-1 defeat to Arsenal.
The Gunners opened up a six-point gap at the Premier League summit with a commanding win at the Emirates Stadium. Ebere Eze scored hat-trick after Leandro Trossard had broken the deadlock for the hosts, whilst Richarlison was on target.
Thomas Frank's outfit sit ninth position in the table. They have secured five victories, shared the points on three occasions and suffered four defeats during this campaign.
Vicario said: "A very bad night for us. "First of all we have to apologise to the people that support us every day.
"They expected us to fight and today we didn't fight. That's not negotiable to do in football in this level. "It's a tough night - a very bad defeat - but we have to stick together.

Sky has slashed the price of its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle for the 2025/26 season, saving members £336 and offering more than 1,400 live matches across the Premier League, EFL and more.
Sky will show at least 215 live Premier League games this season, an increase of up to 100 more.
"We have a big night on Wednesday, but we need to stick together. Tonight we didn't show the things we are normally capable of.
"The emotions are high, but we need cool heads and apologise to the people that support us - and have travelled today. I think we waited too much to get into the game.
"We were too passive. The game-plan we prepared was different. Today we didn't fight.
"We have to apologise first of all for this. But we have to stick together and move on because on Wednesday we have a big night."
Spurs return in midweek as they take on Paris Saint-Germain. Following that, they'll be preparing for Fulham's visit in the Premier League next weekend.
Sunday's defeat to Arsenal will mean that Spurs will go a month without a win in the Premier League by the time they're next in action. The last win for Frank's side came during the 3-0 win over Everton at the end of October.
On the other hand, Arsenal also face a stern test against German side Bayern Munich in Europe on Wednesday evening.
This is followed by another London derby, this time away at Chelsea in the Premier League.
