Ange Postecoglou could not hide his fury at Tottenham supporters after they provided a subdued and bizarre atmosphere for his side's match against Manchester City
A furious Ange Postecoglou hit out at Tottenham fans, blaming the flat atmosphere for the lack of intensity from his side against Manchester City.
Tottenham needed to win to retain any chance of overhauling Aston Villa to finish fourth and claim a place in next season’s Champions League, but they fell flat. Haaland opened the scoring with a tap-in from Kevin De Bruyne’s cross before making sure of the points with an emphatic late penalty. After saying the foundations at the club were “fairly fragile” and that the last 48 hours had “revealed a fair bit to me”, he refused to comment on Spurs fans chanting “are you watching Arsenal?” after Haaland’s opening goal. “I'm not interested mate. I just don't care,” he said dismissively.
Postecoglou was then asked whether the subdued atmosphere affected the players. “Of course it does,” he replied. “It is what it is. I can't dictate what people do. They're allowed to express themselves any way they want. But yeah, when we've got late winners in games it's because the crowd's helped us.”
