Tom Huddlestone says his Hull team-mates must take a long hard look at themselves after their “shambolic” 7-1 defeat at home to Tottenham.
Huddlestone played the full 90 minutes against his former side, for whom Harry Kane netted a hat-trick to add to the four goals he scored against Leicester in midweek.
Hull's relegation to the Championship had already been confirmed following last weekend's 4-0 loss away at Crystal Palace.

Huddlestone praised head coach Marco Silva for giving Hull a fighting chance of retaining their Premier League status but said the damage had already been done prior to the Portuguese's arrival as Mike Phelan's replacement in January.
Midfielder Huddlestone felt compelled to take to Twitter on Sunday night to issue an apology to Hull's fans, who he praised for sticking with the team for the duration of the season.
