Spurs boss slams unacceptable second half’ at Brighton, conceding thrice in 18 minutes

STEWING OVER 'WORST' DEFEAT

LONDON Ange Postecoglou accused his Tottenham Hotspur flops of producing an "unacceptable" performance after they blew a two-goal lead in their 3-2 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion on Oct 6.

Spurs had raced into a commanding half-time lead thanks to strikes from Brennan Johnson and James Maddison.

But they suffered a second-half collapse at the Amex Stadium as Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter and Danny Welbeck scored to hand the visitors their third defeat in seven English Premier League games this season.

Postecoglou was fuming after the north Londoners lost a Premier League match they led by two or more goals for just the second time in their last 166 matches.

"Disappointing. Frustrated and absolutely gutted with that. Worst defeat since I've been here. Unacceptable second half," said the Australian, who took charge of Spurs in July 2023.

"Nowhere near where we should be. We got carried away with how we were going.
