ANGE Postecoglou has written his name into the history books with the win over Liverpool.
Liverpool faced a major setback as they were reduced to ten men, with Curtis Jones receiving a red card for a reckless challenge, paving the way for Spurs to seize the initiative.
Son delivered a quintessential strike, the kind familiar to Celtic fans, having witnessed similar goals over the past few years. The precision play saw the ball relayed to the sprinting winger, who dispatched a low cross to the striker, resulting in a flawless finish to find the back of the net.
However, Liverpool managed to claw back, finding an equaliser on the brink of half-time and entering the break on level terms.
Spurs maintained their offensive intensity in the subsequent half, a period marked by Diego Jota’s ejection for accumulating two yellow cards—a conspicuous lapse in judgement on his part.
Despite the relentless pursuit, Tottenham seemed to be hurtling towards a disappointing result until fortune favoured them in the 96th minute with an own goal from Matip.
This victory catapults Ange Postecoglou into the Spurs’ history books. He is only the second manager for Tottenham in the Premier League era to remain unbeaten in his inaugural seven games.
Moreover, Postecoglou has etched his name in Premier League lore as only the second manager to oversee a team scoring two or more goals in each of his first seven Premier League encounters. [Opta]
