Tottenham apologise for tweet mocking Liverpool's collapse

Tottenham have apologised after a video mocking Liverpool's collapse in the title race appeared on their Twitter account  and say they will investigate. 

Liverpool drew 3-3 at Crystal Palace on Monday night to all but surrender the title to Manchester City.

A message reading "brutal but very funny", accompanied by a video of Reds striker Luis Suarez crying, appeared on Tottenham Twitter feed.

Spurs quickly removed the post and are looking into a "security issue".

 

 

 After removing the posts, Spurs tweeted: "We are currently looking into a security issue where our official Vine account has been compromised. We apologise to anyone offended by a recent tweet, which was immediately deleted. This post was not tweeted by anyone affiliated to THFC." 

  The offending tweet, which appeared after Liverpool threw away a three-goal lead at Selhurst Park, also said: "The biggest capitulation since Newcastle in the 90s."

The post was a reference to the 1995-96 Premier League season, when Newcastle let a 12-point lead slip to finish second to Manchester United.
