Ange Postecoglou’s difficult debut season in English football hit a new low on Sunday, April 27, as Tottenham were thrashed 5-1 by Liverpool at Anfield, marking their 19th Premier League loss of the season — equalling the club’s all-time record set in 1993-94.
The heavy defeat left Spurs languishing in 16th place and intensified pressure on the Australian manager, whose side was no match for a dominant Liverpool team that clinched the Premier League title in emphatic fashion.
Postecoglou’s squad, featuring several changes, briefly stunned the Anfield crowd with an early goal from Dominic Solanke. But the lead quickly evaporated as Liverpool stormed back through goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and an own goal from Destiny Udogie.
The Spurs were overwhelmed as Liverpool’s relentless attack played to the rhythm of an electric home crowd, celebrating their record-equalling 20th English top-flight title.
The result further compounds Tottenham’s struggles under Postecoglou, who is facing mounting criticism with just four games remaining. His side has failed to find consistent form throughout the season, and Sunday’s defeat highlights the gulf between Spurs and the league’s top contenders.
With Tottenham in danger of their worst-ever Premier League finish, questions are growing about the direction of the club under Postecoglou’s leadership.
