Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou jokes that he 'just copied Pep mate' when asked about his flying full-backs after 2-0 win away at Bournemouth

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has jokingly said he 'just copied Pep' when asked about his use of full-backs moving into the midfield.

Speaking on TNT Sports to Peter Crouch and Joe Cole after Spurs 2-0 win away at Bournemouth, Postecoglou was asked about the success he's seen in using full-backs Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie as inverted midfielders.

Man City boss Guardiola has made this tactic famous in the Premier League, a move that has also since been seen by the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool.

Postecoglou spoke about fullbacks being confident in a system that allows them to make these kinds of decisions.
