Postecoglou Believes Tottenham Controlled the Match Against Fulham Until a ‘Soft Goal’ Shifted Momentum

Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou has acknowledged that his side appeared lacklustre in their loss to Fulham on Sunday.

Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon scored late in the match to secure a 2-0 victory for Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Postecoglou stated: “It’s a disappointing result. Up until they scored, I felt we were really dominating the match. It was a closely contested affair, and we hadn’t been forced into a save yet when they scored a very soft goal. After that, the game slipped away from us. It’s frustrating.”

“The match itself wasn’t particularly enjoyable. We had a few opportunities to find the back of the net.”

Regarding a penalty appeal when trailing 1-0, he remarked: “I’ll leave that decision to the officials, but it does seem that our tendency not to appeal can work against us at times.”

“It was a challenging game. I don’t think either team created many chances. We probably had the best opportunity while the score was still 0-0. But as I mentioned, we conceded a soft goal that handed them the advantage.”

“We made several changes today which I believed could benefit the team. That’s the challenge we face from now until the end of the season with both European and league fixtures ahead.”
