Overview
- Tottenham Hotspur suffered their 16th Premier League defeat of the season in a 1-0 loss to Chelsea, leaving them in 14th place and marking their worst-ever loss percentage.
- Manager Ange Postecoglou cupped his ear toward Spurs fans after a disallowed goal, a gesture he later claimed was meant to encourage support rather than taunt critics.
- Fan frustration with Postecoglou has intensified, with chants of 'you don’t know what you’re doing' during the match and broader dissatisfaction with chairman Daniel Levy's leadership.
- Postecoglou criticized VAR for lengthy delays, calling it detrimental to the game’s spectacle, after Pape Sarr’s equalizer was overturned for a foul in the build-up.
- With speculation about Postecoglou’s future mounting, the upcoming Europa League quarterfinal against Eintracht Frankfurt is viewed as pivotal for both the manager and the club's season.
