The midfielder was so impressive against both Liverpool and Arsenal so you could forgive Mauricio Pochtettino for not thinking twice about including him in the XI.
That turned out to be a bit of a mistake, with Dembele heading the list of Spurs players who had awful games, and was eventually put out of his misery by being taken off after 45 minutes.
A rare poor performance from the Belgian and potentially one that will give his manager something to think about ahead of the League Cup final.
