Tottenham Hotspur coach Engie Postecoglou (59), who allowed a come-from-behind defeat after a rough match, was angry.

Tottenham lost 2-3 in the 2024/25 Premier League round away match against Brighton & Hove Albion at Brighton & Hove American Express Stadium in England on the 6th (local time).

As the team's performance has barely regained normalcy lately, the latest defeat has dealt a serious blow. Tottenham won Coventry City (2-1), Brentford (3-1), Garabach FK (3-0), Manchester United (3-0), and Ferencvaros TC (2-1) in succession, continuing their five-game winning streak.

Given the atmosphere, it was not impossible to achieve six consecutive wins. Until half-time, Tottenham was leading the game thanks to relay goals scored by Brennan Johnson and James Maddison. However, the team completely lost concentration in the second half and lost three goals in a row, destroying itself. Postecoglou and other Tottenham players could not easily get out of the ground due to shock.

Team captain Son Heung-min has missed three consecutive games due to slow recovery after suffering a hamstring injury against Garabakh. "He is recovering slower than expected. It is natural that he will not be able to join the national team," Postecoglou said ahead of the match against Brighton.

Son Heung-min was absent in this match. Timo Werner, Dominic Solanke and Johnson all showed good performances, but they were not enough to defeat Brighton. There were also several scenes where we wondered what it would have been like if Son had been present.

Postecoglou, on the other hand, disagreed. Faced with reporters after the match, when asked if Son's absence significantly affected his defeat, Postecoglou said, "Not at all. If we had to miss Son, we would not have shown the same performance as we did in recent games. As I always say, we should maintain a certain level in every game. We failed to do so in the second half (against Brighton), and we were punished accordingly." 먹튀검증

"The responsibility lies with me. When we lost to Newcastle United, we played well and did our best until the very last minute. However, it was different today. I saw no such factor. There will be more than a million reasons," he said, blaming some players.
