Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou expresses his disappointment in his side’s performance as they lose 2-1 at Arsenal.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou says his side’s league form “can’t be accepted by anyone at the club” after a 2-1 north London derby defeat to 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."
