Ange Postecoglou’s reaction at full-time captured the disappointment felt by Tottenham Hotspur following their 3-2 loss to Brighton on Sunday.
Spurs looked in control with a 2-0 lead by half-time, but Brighton’s remarkable second-half comeback left Postecoglou stunned on the touchline.
In a dramatic 18-minute spell after the restart, Brighton turned the game on its head, with Danny Welbeck’s decisive header completing the turnaround.
Tottenham, despite their early dominance, couldn’t find a way back into the match.
Postecoglou’s disbelief after the full-time whistle went said it all. He looked lost and overwhelmed at the way the team collapsed in the second half.
The only positive is that with the international break coming up, the team will have a chance to reflect and refocus as they aim to bounce back with better results.
