Ange Postecoglou fumes in post-match interview after Spurs 1-0 defeat

Ange Postecoglou could barely contain his frustration with a reporter when drawn on whether his Spurs side were capable of winning silverware this season.

Tottenham lost 1-0 at home to their biggest rivals Arsenal in the 196th north London derby, earlier on Sunday.

A single goal from Gunners' defender Gabriel was enough to separate the teams, and continue Arsenal's dominance in the fixture they've enjoyed over the past seasons.

Postecoglou struck a defiant tone in his response, but could barely conceal his irritation at the journalist's who asked whether he could win a trophy in his second season at Spurs.

'Yeah, absolutely,' the Australian manger responded. 'Am I going to answer the question or are you going to keep asking it?

'No, absolutely. I'll correct myself. I don't usually win things, I always win things in my second year.

'Nothing has changed. I don't say things unless I believe them.'

Postecoglou has been criticised for Tottenham's poor record for defending set-pieces but asserted he 'doesn't care' about the criticism.

He said: 'I know, I know, for some reason people think I don't care about set pieces and it's a narrative that you can keep going on for ages and ages.

'I understand that. Like I said, we work on them all the time like we do for every other team.

'You know that they're a threat, as I said, for the most part, we handled them really well today, but we switched off for one and we paid a price and you learn from that and you move on.

'But it is what it is, you know, it's my burden to carry mate and I'm happy to do that.

'It's not like, like I've always said, for me, there's a bigger picture that's at play here that's much more important than the finer details of us getting to where we want to.
