Tottenham fans might not like Igor Tudor's comments about Arsenal after their humiliating defeat at home on Sunday, but he's absolutely spot on.
Spurs suffered a 4-1 defeat against their north London rivals Arsenal on Sunday, with Tudor enduring a nightmare start to his tenure.
After equalising just minutes after Eberechi Eze had opened the scoring, Tottenham fell apart in the second half, with Viktor Gyokeres and the aforementioned Eze both grabbing braces.
It was an incredibly disappointing performance, but one that Tudor might have been expecting. The former Juventus manager has had little time to work with his players, and considering his comments on the Gunners after the game, he won't be beating himself about losing this one.

New Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Igor Tudor
After the 4-1 defeat, Tudor suggested that Arsenal are probably the best team in the world at the moment.
Tottenham fans might not like hearing their manager praising Arsenal so heavily, so soon after such a humiliating defeat. Comments like that are surely off limits in the aftermath of a defeat against your rivals, but some might find his honesty refreshing. The Tottenham boss went on to add that there is a huge gap between the two clubs at the moment, and he's certainly not wrong.
Whether Tottenham fans like it or not, it's the current reality of the situation, but perhaps it's not what they wanted to hear so soon after the defeat.
The comments will certainly give Arsenal fans something to laugh about after they walk away with the bragging rights on Sunday afternoon.
Worrying Position for Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Igor Tudor
The weekend's results mean Tottenham sit just four points above the relegation zone. West Ham occupies the final bottom-three spot, while Nottingham Forest sit just behind Tottenham by two points.
The north London club are in serious danger of dropping down to the Championship if results don't improve soon, but there's a clear lack of confidence in the side. They are the only team yet to find a win in 2026, and Nottingham Forest and West Ham have started to show signs of improvement in recent weeks.
Tottenham are surely too good to go down, but the results are saying otherwise at the moment.
