Football: A controversial VAR review has awarded West Ham United a 92nd minute penalty, effectively handing them the win against Manchester United.
Controversial VAR penalty hands WHU win | 01:18Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou said his side had lost too many battles as they slumped to a a 1-0 loss away to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Defeat by one of their London rivals left Spurs eighth in the table, with Postecoglou’s men now having lost four of their nine league matches so far this term.Inconsistency has been a perennial problem for Tottenham, last crowned champions of England in 1961, with Postecoglou accepting a Spurs side missing injured captain Son Heung-min had been outfought by Palace.
Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was even more damning, telling Sky Sports: “They fight and I think we lacked that today. We are disappointed because we have to fight. We play good football but maybe sometimes we lack the desire to fight.”Spurs fans, rival rans and members of the English press were quick to poke fun at the disappointing day for Postecoglou and his team.
“If Tottenham Hotspur dislike the term “Spursy” so much, they should avoid putting in non-performances such as this,” he wrote. He was compared to Neymar in a tongue-in-cheek manner by teammates James Maddison following their 1-0 win against Dutch side AZ Alkmaar on Thursday, and joined Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson in the front three on Sunday.
