Tottenham have given head coach Ange Postecoglou the vote of confidence after facing calls to sack the under-fire boss following their defeat to Arsenal. Spurs' 2-1 loss in the North London derby was their 11th in the Premier League this season, leaving Postecoglou's men languishing in 13th position in the table.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou expresses his disappointment in his side’s performance as they lose 2-1 at Arsenal.

Ange Postecoglou said he hopes his Tottenham players are hurting after their 2-1 defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday and labelled the performance "unacceptable."

With six defeats in their past 10 games, a loss to their biggest rivals and closer to the relegation zone than the top four, things are going from bad to worse for Tottenham.

Ange Postecoglou described Tottenham Hotspur's dismal Premier League campaign as unacceptable after they slumped to a lame 2-1 defeat at north London rivals Arsenal on Wednesday.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou says his side’s league form “can’t be accepted by anyone at the club” after a 2-1 north London derby defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday. Spurs took the lead through captain Son Heung-min in the 25th minute but an own goal from Dominic Solanke and a strike from Leandro Trossard meant that Arsenal took the lead into half-time and did not relinquish it after the break.

Ange Postecoglou’s post-match comments at the Emirates suggest the time for excuses and explanations is over. Throughout Tottenham’s bleak midwinter, Postecoglou has repeatedly pointed to his squad's crippling injury list and rotten luck as explainers for their form.
