Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has explained his bold double substitution at half-time against Arsenal was in response to a poor opening 45 minutes. Spurs took the lead, slightly against the run of play, in the north London derby when Heung-min Son's deflected effort found the bottom corner to stun the majority inside the Emirates Stadium.

Ange Postecoglou described Tottenham Hotspur's dismal Premier League campaign as unacceptable after they slumped to a lame 2-1 defeat at north London rivals Arsenal on Wednesday.

Ange Postecoglou said he hopes his Tottenham players are hurting after their 2-1 defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday and labelled the performance "unacceptable."

Ange Postecoglou has said he was subjected to "vile and detestable" abuse during Tottenham Hotspur's FA Cup third-round win at Tamworth on Sunday.

There is never a good time to lose a north London derby but for both Mikel Arteta and Ange Postecoglou a defeat on Wednesday would only serve to further rile fanbases whose murmurs of discontent have grown more audible.
