Arsenal Sponsors Puma Taunt Tottenham After Borussia Dortmund Defeat

Arsenal's kit sponsor, Puma, stuck the boot in to Tottenham Hotspur after their UEFA Europa League hopes were left hanging by a thread following a 3-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund at the Westfalenstadion on Thursday.

Mauricio Pochettino's side need a miracle in the home leg of their last-16 tie next week if they are to advance, and Puma, also sponsors of Dortmund, was quick to riff on Spurs' pain:

Pochettino made seven changes to his starting XI for Thursday's clash with the focus very clearly on the Premier League. Spurs' title hopes took a slight hit last Saturday when they dropped two points at home against Arsenal.  

They now face an away trip to bottom-of-the-table Aston Villa on Sunday where a victory will put Spurs just two points behind league-leaders Leicester, who do not play until Monday against Newcastle United.

Bleacher Report's Dean Jones is convinced the Foxes will overcome the Magpies, but a Tottenham win against Villa will at least put a little added pressure on Claudio Ranieri's side:

Spurs were largely outplayed by Dortmund on Thursday and need to bounce back quickly.

The German side's goals came courtesy of a first-half Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang header and a second-half double from the excellent Marco Reus—the first of which can be seen below via BT Sport football:

An early goal from Spurs at White Hart Lane in Thursday's second leg could spark a comeback for the north London outfit, but Dortmund look firmly in the driving seat after 90 minutes of action.
