‘Angriest I’ve ever been’: Ange Postecoglou says after Tottenham loses again

·

Newcastle extended their winning streak to five Premier League games with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham on Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, further deepening the struggles of Ange Postecoglou‘s injury-hit side.

Spurs took the lead in the fourth minute through Dominic Solanke, but Newcastle responded swiftly, with Antony Gordon curling a shot into the bottom corner just two minutes later.

Tottenham were furious when Joelinton appeared to handle the ball in the build-up to the goal, but VAR upheld the decision, deeming the handball accidental.

The controversy continued when Dan Burn, already on a yellow card, avoided a second booking for a handball in the centre circle, igniting further protests from the Tottenham bench.

Alexander Isak put Newcastle ahead just before halftime, scoring what would prove to be the winner.

The victory leaves Newcastle in fifth place, with a potential Champions League spot in sight, while Spurs have slumped to 12th after five defeats in their last seven matches.

A visibly frustrated Postecoglou said, “I’m the angriest I think I have ever been in my career,” adding, “On any other day, on a fair and even playing ground, we would have won that game. Simple as that.”
