Ange Postecoglou takes blame for Tottenham’s defeat at Chelsea and snaps at Sky Sports reporter

Ange Postecoglou’s frustration was palpable as Tottenham suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The Australian manager took full responsibility for his team’s lackluster performance, admitting that they were nowhere near good enough on the day.

Goals from Chalobah and Jackson sealed the victory for Chelsea, leaving Postecoglou’s side reeling from their third consecutive Premier League defeat. The defeat has dealt a severe blow to Tottenham’s hopes of securing a top-four finish this season.

In a post-match interview with Sky Sports, Postecoglou did not mince his words, acknowledging that his players had failed to execute his instructions on the pitch. When pressed by a reporter about the specifics of his message to the team, Postecoglou snapped back, emphasizing that the poor performance was ultimately his responsibility.

The defeat leaves Tottenham seven points adrift of fourth-placed Aston Villa, with their Champions League aspirations hanging by a thread. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s victory propels them up to eighth in the table, within touching distance of sixth-placed Manchester United in the race for European qualification.

Despite the win, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino issued a cautious statement about his future with the club, highlighting the need for time to implement his ideas and philosophy with a young squad.

As the Premier League season enters its crucial phase, Postecoglou and Tottenham will need to regroup quickly to salvage their campaign, while Chelsea will look to build on their momentum as they push for a European spot.
