Ange Postecoglou denies goading own fans with ‘cupped ear’
Ange Postecoglou was targeted by Spurs fans during a 1-0 defeat ChelseaAnge Postecoglou denied he was goading his own supporters in Tottenham Hotspur’s derby defeat at Chelsea, in which he cupped his ear towards the away end after they had booed his substitutions.
Postecoglou bizarrely claimed he made the gesture towards the Spurs fans simply because he “wanted to hear them cheer” after Pape Sarr had scored an equaliser, which was then overturned a few minutes later.
The Spurs fans had loudly booed Postecoglou and chanted “you don’t know what you’re doing” after he had replaced teenage midfielder Lucas Bergvall with Sarr after 64 minutes at Stamford Bridge.
