Ange Postecoglou moved to quell any anger that may have been building towards him from Tottenham fans on Thursday night, insisting that he had not been firing back at the away end but instead calling for more support in Spurs' 1-0 loss at Chelsea.

This might prove to be the night the Ange Postecoglou dream died as the Tottenham Hotspur head coach took on his own supporters and lost.

Chelsea were a level above as they won 1-0 against a ‘dreadful’ Tottenham Hotspur side at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night. Chelsea almost went ahead in just the first minute when a long ball caused Tottenham centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven problems. Nicolas Jackson bundled his way towards goal but could only hit the post.
