A typical Tottenham performance, you might say.
After scoring four at home to West Ham last weekend and following it up with three points in the Europa League on Thursday, Spurs were downed by struggling Crystal Palace as they secured their first win of the season.
Tottenham looked timid throughout the first half and could not convert all of their possession into chances.
After falling behind, Spurs briefly piled pressure on the Palace backline and James Maddison forced Dean Henderson into a brilliant save.
Without the injured Son Heung-min, Spurs needed someone to stand up and take a grip of the game.
Maddison, who was wearing the armband at Selhurst Park, was substituted just after an hour after failing to make an impact on his 200th Premier League appearance.
The Spurs backline, who were far from their best against Palace, were perhaps fortunate to only concede just the once as Eberechi Eze proved a constant thorn in their side.
Spurs remain eighth in the league table - already five points adrift of Aston Villa in fourth and a trip to Villa Park coming on Sunday.
