Tottenham Hotspur’s promising early season spark under Ange Postecoglou now feels like a distant memory. Tottenham’s 1-0 defeat against Chelsea has pushed Spurs further down the Premier League table and thrown Postecoglou’s future into serious doubt. Enzo Fernandez’s second-half header sealed the win for Chelsea and condemned Tottenham to 14th place in the Premier League, 10 points adrift of the top 10.<\/p>
Notably, Postecoglou has now become the first Tottenham manager to lose his first four matches against Chelsea. With just eight games remaining, Spurs are looking at their worst Premier League campaign in history. Unless they can spark a dramatic turnaround, they are on course to finish outside the top 10 for the first time in 17 years.<\/p>
Following the match against Chelsea, Postecoglou appeared more isolated than ever as pressure mounts on the Australian following yet another disappointing result. There were chants of “you don’t know what you’re doing”<\/em> from the Tottenham supporters after Postecoglou substituted Lucas Bergvall for Pape Sarr in the 65th minute. <\/p> Remarkably, just four minutes later, Pape Sarr unleashed a stunning long-range effort that found the back of the net, leading Postecoglou to cup his ear and turn to the Tottenham fans<\/a>. However, the goal was later ruled out by VAR for a foul on Moises Caicedo in the build-up.<\/p>
