Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou admitted he felt hurt after Chelsea came from behind to beat his side 4-3 in the Premier League on Sunday.

“It was obviously a very painful game because we started well, not just the goals we scored, but the way we played, we controlled the game and had good chances to score more than the two goals,” Postecoglou said. “Then you lose Cristian Romero after the second goal.

“The injuries are something we’ve always had. Nothing went smoothly. I still feel like we had a really good first half. We had two or three chances to score the third goal.”

“I thought both penalties were poor decisions by us, we have to show more discipline. In the end the critical moments got us.”

While Postecoglou acknowledged the quality of the game, คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย he felt neither team created an overwhelming number of chances.

“I think there were quality opportunities but I don’t think there was an abundance of them. I can’t remember the keepers making a load of top quality saves.”

“However, in the second half they came out and put us under pressure. I felt we didn’t handle it very well and when they scored we had a big moment where we were 2-2 down and 3-2 up. In a game like this, concentration is important in the crucial moments.”  

“We conceded two penalties, it was very bad, our players caused problems for themselves and they made unnecessary tackles and to get the result in a game like this, I think it’s really difficult if you can’t handle the pressure well enough.”
