It's all going wrong for Tottenham heading into the halftime interval against West Ham.
Tim Sherwood's men already found themselves both a goal and a man (Younes Kaboul) down late in the opening stanza, before Stewart Downing stepped up to hit a free kick.
The players in the defensive wall, in particular Paulinho and Emmanuel Adebayor, wanted no business being in the blockade, and it showed when they moved aside to leave a gaping hole for Downing to find.

Poor Hugo Lloris had no chance.
Adebayor's reaction to the goal was priceless, considering he was partially to blame. Not in his eyes, apparently:
