Tottenham Hotspur suffered a 2-0 defeat against Manchester City on Tuesday, marking their manager Ange Postecoglou’s toughest moment in charge. Erling Haaland secured City’s victory with two goals in the second half, maintaining their lead in the title race and dashing Spurs’ hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Ahead of the game, there was much discussion about whether Spurs fans wanted their team to win, potentially handing the title to their arch-rivals Arsenal. Postecoglou initially claimed all supporters would support victory, but after the match, he recognized his misjudgment. The Australian admitted feeling anxious about the outcome and the existing fragility within the club, pointing out the need for significant work moving forward.

With Aston Villa securing the final Champions League spot, Tottenham now must secure at least a point against Sheffield United on Sunday to secure their place in the Europa League. Postecoglou emphasized the challenges the club faces both internally and externally but remained resolute in his commitment to address the ongoing issues and improve the team’s performance in the future.
