Tottenham throw away 2-0 lead in 3-2 loss at Brighton’If you’re not competitive you’re going to trip up’
Ange Postecoglou tore into his Tottenham players after seeing them throw away a 2-0 half-time lead to lose 3-2 at Brighton, branding the performance “unacceptable” and accusing them of a lack of fight. The manager has not been this angry after a defeat during his season-and-a-bit at the club, his outspoken criticism feeling like his Antonio Conte moment.
Conte, the previous permanent Spurs manager, went into meltdown after his team surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 at Southampton in March 2023, furiously questioning his players’ mentality. It should be said that Postecoglou’s delivery was rather more measured.
