Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester United 3-0 away from home in the 6th round of the English Premier League on Sunday night, and after the match, Tottenham Hotspur manager Postecoglou was interviewed by the Match of the Day program to share his thoughts on the match.
Postecoglou was very happy with his team's performance and felt that Tottenham played well in the game, scoring a great opening goal and putting Manchester United under immense pressure. He mentioned that even though the team had chances to score more goals, they were very satisfied to win 3-0 in the end. On not being able to score more goals, Postecoglou said that although he was a bit frustrated, he was more pleased with the efforts of his players as they played an incredible game.
Speaking about the red card for United captain Bruno Fernandes (B fee), Postecoglou believes that it was a result of Spurs following their own style of play in the game. He said that Tottenham put United under immense pressure and created a lot of chances while United could not get out of their own half. Postecoglou emphasized that it was an all-around excellent performance and Spurs were in complete control of the game.
In addition, Postecoglou mentioned the team's early goals in the game. He said that he hopes to get off to a good start in every game, but it doesn't always work out. He recalled the team's difficulties in the last two games, including against Brentford
of the game conceding a goal in the opening 20 seconds, as well as having a player sent off in the opening eight minutes. Postecoglou told the players that they had to deal with these things, and in this game, Spurs did.
Finally, Postecoglou spoke about the team's momentum. He said that Spurs have been strong all year in the league, but have yet to get that kind of lead. However, the team has been playing well and it's important to win games every time. Postecoglou wants the players to think that their hard work is paying off and wants the team to keep the momentum going.
