LONDON, Nov 6 (Reuters) – Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou said it was impossible to analyse his side’s 4-1 defeat at the hands of Chelsea as his unbeaten start to life in the Premier League came to an end in chaotic and controversial fashion on Monday.
Spurs led after six minutes but ended up with nine men following the sending off of Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie and only four of their starting lineup were still on the pitch when the final whistle eventually brought the drama to a close.
Five disallowed goals, several VAR decisions, a total of 21 minutes of stoppage time and two injuries to key players left Postecoglou looking as mystified as everyone in the stadium as his team missed the chance to return to the top of the table.
“It is pretty hard to process. It is almost impossible to analyse the game because it just seemed to get out of control for large parts of it,” the Australian, who masterminded Spurs’ best start to a top-flight season since 1960, told Sky Sports.
