Fewer touches than Forster: Ange must now surely drop 4/10 Tottenham dud.
Pressure ramped up on boss Ange Postecoglou once again last night after Tottenham Hotspur fell to their second consecutive Premier League defeat against Chelsea.
Spurs looked as though they were about to return to winning ways in convincing fashion at one stage, going two goals ahead just ten minutes following goals from Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski.
However, it wasn’t to be, with strikes from Cole Palmer, Jadon Sancho and Enzo Fernández securing a second straight four-goal haul at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the Blues, after their 4-1 win last season.
The result keeps Ange’s side in 11th place, already sitting seven points off a top-four place, and struggling to reach the level many expected them to this campaign.
It continues a topsy-turvy few weeks for the North London outfit, potentially heaping more pressure on the Aussie after yet another embarrassing defeat.
Tottenham’s inconsistency during 2024/25
Shockwaves were sent through the English top flight a couple of weeks ago when Spurs smashed four past defending champions Manchester City at the Etihad, ending the mammoth unbeaten run on home soil.
However, since that afternoon in the North West, Postecoglou’s side have failed to replicate such a performance, finding results hard to come by in the process – contributing to their lowly league standing.

The Lilywhites have failed to win a single game in all competitions since the 23rd of November, drawing two and losing two, summing up their recent slump and inconsistent form.
His side have taken the lead in all but one of the matches, with the clash against Bournemouth at the Vitality the only meeting where they failed to find themselves on the scoresheet.
However, it’s holding onto the lead that appears to be the issue, as seen on Sunday, throwing away a two-goal lead, before going on to lose yet another massive Premier League clash.
Fans are undoubtedly growing frustrated with the lack of form and consistency under Postecoglou which could ultimately lead to his downfall as Spurs boss.
