Dejan Kulusevski on Ange Postecoglou being the right man and how it’s “not OK” to play in four competitions with “10 to 11 fit players” #thfc www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Another big one for #THFC or are they all big between now and end of season? 😅 James Maddison stepped up on Thursday and Ange Postecoglou will hope to see same again today vs #LCFC www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

#NLD preview. Spurs without at least eight players but some big calls for Ange Postecoglou I predict #thfc: Kinsky; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Bergvall, Bissouma, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Son www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Ange Postecoglou hinted to me on Friday that Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke will be on the bench at Tamworth, which would be a welcome breather. I can see #thfc XI: Kinsky; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Sarr, Bergvall, Maddison; Moore, Lankshear, Werner www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Antonin Kinsky firmly on the way to cult hero status after a very fine display with both his hands and feet vs #LFC. A young man with brilliant confidence and ability #thfc www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

He did not get lucky.

What a moment for him. Some goals just feel special

What a night for Lucas Bergvall and one richly deserved. Yes, he got an element of luck to avoid a second yellow card but he’s worked tirelessly to improve since he joined #THFC. A big talent uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/lucas-b...

This match is up there amongst my favourites as a journalist to cover. Genuine pleasure to watch a star be born in Michael Olise. Everyone knew he would go to the top after this #cpfc

Postecoglou: “I can’t be prouder of the players, I’m just angry and disappointed it wasn’t football that denied them.” #thfc www.irishnews.com/sport/soccer...

Ange Postecoglou full of rage at full time. Proud of his squad but dejected at the result. This team - without 11 in the end - are giving everything. Players behind AP. Hope club are too #thfc www.irishnews.com/sport/soccer...

Full-time: Tottenham 1 Newcastle 2. Tough on an injury-ravaged Spurs who did create late chances, but could not equalise. Solanke's early goal was the perfect start. Gordon's controversial leveller killed momentum before Isak struck winner. 5 PL defeats in 7 but 10 players out. Got to feel for Ange.

Ange has sent for Son, Maddison and Bissouma, who are all getting striped and ready to come on. Half an hour less for the trio to pull their finger out. What's the chances of Maddison scoring and doing the darts celebration? 1-2. 61'

Sergio Reguilon being introduced for the second half. It seems to be for Radu Dragusin, who was one of the players a big doubt before kick-off due to illness. Djed Spence joins Archie Gray as a makeshift centre-back pairing. 1-2. 46'

Half-time: Tottenham 1 Newcastle 2. Spurs started brilliantly with Solanke heading home before Gordon produced a controversial leveller with Joelinton's handball declared accidental by VAR. Yet visitors lead after Isak got last touch to Murphy's dangerous cross. Hosts, minus 10, battled well though.

GOAL #NUFC! Visitors take the lead through in-form Alexander Isak. Pressure had been growing but Spurs had coped fairly well until Murphy is able to produce another dangerous ball across the box and Dragusin can only touch it onto Isak's boot. 1-2. 37'

GOAL #NUFC! Instant reply by the visitors through Anthony Gordon. Joelinton handled in the build-up and Ange has his arms out stretched in disbelief yet the goal is awarded. It was definitely handled by Joelinton before Gordon arrowed into the bottom corner, but not enough to overturn it. 1-1. 6'

GOAL #THFC! WHAT A START. Bergvall carries the ball half the length of the pitch, finds Johnson and he tees up Porro to cross in for Solanke to head into the bottom corner. Brilliant team goal. Goal No.11 for Solanke. 1-0. 4'

H/t to Squawka, this is Tottenham's youngest starting line-up in a Premier League match since March 2015 vs QPR. Average age of this XI is 23 years and 336 days. Is this the Poch moment for Ange? Can only hope... #thfc

Spurs team news in... Brandon Austin makes a first ever appearance for Tottenham with Fraser Forster ill Ange Postecoglou also drops captain Son Heung-min, whilst James Maddison is left on the bench Austin; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Sarr, Bergvall, Kulusevski; Johnson, Solanke, Werner #thfc

Spurs on the verge of signing another young player, but Antonin Kinsky does have very good experience for a 21-year-old goalkeeper. 29 appearances for Slavia Prague this season and 14 clean sheets. Deal worth around £12.5million and medical today. Kinsky primed to be new long-term back-up GK #thfc

If Radu Dragusin does not recover Spurs will be without nine players vs Wolves. It has been that way for pretty much the whole of December but that doesn’t suit the narrative does it 🤷🏻‍♂️ #thfc www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Ange Postecoglou on Jamie Carragher's analysis, "offensive" comments about him and his belief not wavering #thfc www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Are you not entertained? A thrilling win means Spurs are Carabao Cup semi-finalists… anyone remember the last quarter-final #THFC played? A god awful 0-0 with AC Milan. Thank the lord for #AngeBall 🙏🏻 uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/dominic...

Detailed update from Ange Postecoglou. Destiny Udogie "sore" after Southampton and may miss #MUFC. Micky van de Ven & Cristian Romero "chugging along" and set to return in new year. Same for Richarlison. Mikey Moore back training "so hopefully not far away." Ben Davies may return next week. #thfc

GOAL #THFC! MADDISON AGAIN. #SaintsFC boss Martin walked down the touchline with a minute of first-half stoppage time left and misses Spurs' fifth. Son sends Maddison through with an outside of the boot pass and Tottenham No.10 cuts inside and rifles into the top corner. 0-5. 45'

GOAL #THFC! PAPE. A superb effort by Pape Sarr as Son hit the hosts on the counter-attack. Son carries the ball forward and picks out Sarr, who twinkle toes his way past Wood and fires home. 0-4. 25'

GOAL #THFC! BOY OH BOY. Kulusevski taps in after Son's cross falls perfectly for him. Dream start for Spurs and Postecoglou, but this is turning into a nightmare for the hosts. More chants of 'we want Martin out'. 0-3. 14'

GOAL #THFC! SONNY. Maddison again involved as his cross from deep is flicked on by a Saints defender and Son Heung-min lashes home at the back post for his 13th goal vs #SaintsFC. Home support respond with 'we want Martin out'. 0-2. 12'

GOAL #THFC! What a start as James Maddison slots Spurs ahead after 36 seconds. Djed Spence with a brilliant dribble before he played through to Maddison, who rifled home for his sixth goal of the season. Occurred after 'we want Levy out' chants at the kick-off. 0-1. 1'

Djed Spence & Lucas Bergvall are handed their first Premier League starts, while Dejan Kulusevski used at RW at #SaintsFC. Brennan Johnson benched. 5 changes from Rangers. Timo Werner listed as a sub Forster; Spence, Gray, Dragusin, Udogie; Sarr, Bergvall, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Son #thfc

Ange Postecoglou has issued a rallying cry to his depleted squad ahead of the biggest week in Tottenham’s season so far #thfc www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Ange Postecoglou: “I am here, I am in for the fight… my resolve and determination hasn’t wavered one bit. I love a fight, I love a scrap, I love being in the middle of a storm when everyone doubts because I know what it is on the other side if you get through it. My job is to get through it.” #thfc

A point will do. Spurs still in a strong position to finish in top-8 of #UEL and some positives there. Kulusevski delivered again, Gray did an admirable job at CB, Forster again top and decent cameo from Bergvall. Negatives? Porro cannot play twice a week. Son & Maddison still off it. Work for Ange.

Not at Ibrox unfortunately but did wonder if Bissouma may start given his upcoming ban. Solanke the latest to be taken out of the firing line - perhaps with Saints, Man U & Liverpool in mind. Son missed chances vs Chelsea but had more conviction in his play. Hopefully he can get on a run now #thfc

A silly omen to start your day #thfc fans… Tonight will be the third competitive meeting between Rangers and Spurs The last? 61 years ago yesterday. Tottenham won 3-2 at Ibrox in the Cup Winners’ Cup and 5 months later lifted that very trophy under Bill Nic 👀🙏 www.independent.ie/sport/soccer...

Update in here on Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Brennan Johnson. I would guess both Johnson and van de Ven sit out Rangers before Sunday's trip to Southampton #thfc www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

A tough moment for #THFC and Ange Postecoglou. It does not get any easier with a hostile Ibrox up next on Thursday, but Spurs' Aussie coach remains determined to succeed www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Full-time: Tottenham 3 Chelsea 4. A big three points for the visitors who come from two down to close the gap on Liverpool after Cole Palmer produces more magic. A bitter pile to swallow for Spurs, who grabbed early goals from Solanke & Kulusevski, but ran out of steam. More injuries too. Tough day.

Van de Ven now down for Spurs but looks to be just cramp. Archie Gray, James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall all ready to go regardless. 2-3. 78'

Goal #CFC! Enzo Fernandez rifles home after brilliant work by Palmer, who twisted and turned away from Udogie, van de Ven and Sarr before his deflected cross dropped for Chelsea captain Fernandez to smash in on the half-volley. 2-3. 73'

Goal #CFC! Palmer slots home the spot-kick and we are level here. A big test for Spurs now. The South Stand respond with chants of Yid Army. 2-2. 61'

Penalty #CFC! So so so silly from Bissouma as he dives in on Caicedo and referee Anthony Taylor points to the spot. A fifth yellow card of the season means Bissouma will miss next Sunday's trip to Southampton. 2-1. 59'

Brennan Johnson joins the casualty list. Seemed to hold his left side of stomach. It brings Timo Werner on to face old club Chelsea for the first time. 2-1. 54'

Outstanding one-handed save by Forster denies Sancho and keeps it 2-1 to Tottenham. Back-up goalkeeper has been very good again. Sure he will be required a few more times before this is over. 2-1. 50'

Half-time: Tottenham 2 Chelsea 1. A breathless 45 and similar to last season! Spurs - via some Cucurella help - scored twice early on through Solanke & Kulusevski, but lost Romero and Sancho then reduced deficit. Visitors perhaps lucky to still have 11 after Caicedo caught Sarr with shin-high tackle

Breathless match so far as Solanke plays in Son, but he fires over. A good chance squandered and yet that was much of the Sonny from old with clear conviction. Spurs captain also just made a big recovery run to help stop Jackson. 2-1. 24'

Goal #CFC! Game on. Jadon Sancho cuts inside too easily from Porro and arrows an effort into the bottom corner from 25-yards. Fine finish. 2-1. 18'

Spurs got 14 minutes out of Romero and he is now down. He felt his groin after about seven minutes and Dragusin is now ready to come on. Romero walks off dejected with his t-shirt over his head. 2-0. 15'
