Liverpool led 3-0 at Crystal Palace on Monday, only for the hosts to score three goals in the final 11 minutes to earn a point and put Manchester City in the driving seat to win the league.
Shortly after the game a post appeared on Tottenham's Twitter account comparing Liverpool's late collapse to Newcastle United's failure to win the title in 1995-96 after holding a 12-point advantage over Manchester United.
It read: "Brutal but very funny. The biggest capitulation since Newcastle in the 90s."
A Vine video was attached to the tweet, with the film quickly segueing from footage of Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard leading a team huddle after the 3-2 win over Manchester City to his slip that handed Chelsea the opening goal in a 2-0 victory at Anfield.
"We are currently looking into a security issue where our official Vine account has been compromised," the club said.
"We apologise to anyone offended by a recent tweet, which was immediately deleted. This post was not tweeted by anyone affiliated to THFC."
