Tottenham have apologised and begun an investigation
after claiming that the hacking of their social media accounts was the reason a
video was posted poking fun at Liverpool 's collapse
in the Premier League title race.
Shortly after Brendan Rodgers' side threw away a 3-0 lead
to draw 3-3 with Crystal Palace , making Manchester City
the clear favourites for the title, a post mocking them appeared on Tottenham's
official Twitter feed.
It read: "Brutal but very funny. The biggest
capitulation since Newcastle
in the '90s." That referred to the 1995-96 Premier League season, when Newcastle let a 12-point
lead slip away and finished second to Manchester United.
Spurs removed the offending post and subsequently
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."
