Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham 'doubled down on their principles' by smashing Premier League champions Manchester City away from home.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou says he “never doubted” the ability of James Maddison after the midfielder scored twice to beat Man City on their own patch. The 28-year-old hadn’t started either

Ange Postecoglou is known for being a tough nut to please, but after Tottenham’s 4-0 victory at Etihad, even the Spurs manager was eager to offer some praise.

We would not be massively surprised to see Ange Postecoglou's Spurs beat Man City. But that doesn't change the Spurs narrative.

Ange Postecoglou has said he is happy Pep Guardiola signed a contract extension at Manchester City so he has a chance to "knock him off" the Premier League summit.

Ange Postecoglou can be a hard man to please at times but with Tottenham winning 4-0 at Manchester City, even the Spurs boss was in the mood to dish out some praise.

Tottenham will take on Manchester City without two of their best players due to injury. Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed that he will be without both Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven for their visit to the Etihad later this evening.
