‘Worst since I’ve been here’: Ange ‘gutted’ as Aussie left seething over ‘unacceptable’ Spurs choke
Dane Heverin Ange Postecoglou did not hold back in his post-match assessment of Tottenham’s second half capitulation at Brighton as he labelled the 3-2 Premier League loss “probably the worst defeat since I’ve been here”.
Brighton produced a breathtaking burst with goals from Yankuba Minteh , Georginio Rutter and Danny Welbeck coming in just 18 minutes to snatch the three points and leave Postecoglou seething.“It’s an unacceptable second half – we were nowhere near where we should be. Maybe we got carried away with how we’re going.
Tottenham had ample time to hit back but never looked like doing so, and the manager suggested that possibly his players got ahead of themselves following their recent run of form. “We lost all our duels, we weren’t competitive and if you’re not competitive irrespective of what you do tactically, it is not going to work.”It was the first time they lost a Premier League game after being 2-0 up since they went down to champions Manchester City 4-2 at Etihad Stadium in January last year, and it is the 10th time in Premier League history that they have done so.
