Chelsea vs Tottenham: Postecoglou Goes Berserk, Screams at Players in Loss at Stamford Bridge

• Ange Postecoglou was incensed with his players during their EPL clash against Chelsea
• The Tottenham Hotspur boss was furious after Trevoh Chalobah's goal in the 24th minute
• The former Celtic boss is often soft-spoken and rarely yells instructions from the touchline

Ange Postecoglou lashed out at his players in an unusual meltdown at Stamford Bridge on Thursday evening, May 2.

Tottenham Hotspur made the short trip to West London to face their rivals, Chelsea, in a bid to keep their slim hopes for UEFA Champions League football next season alive.

Spurs started the better of the two sides, but it was the hosts who drew first blood.

Skipper and rumoured Tottenham target, Conor Gallagher, swung in a free kick, which found Trevoh Chalobah completely unmarked on the far post.

The goal withstood a VAR check for a possible Marc Cucurella foul on Brennan Johnson and an offside shout to fire the Blues ahead.

Soon after the goal, as spotted on social media, the cameras picked up Postecoglou having a go at his players.

Chelsea dominated proceedings soon after, much to the dislike of the Greek-Australian manager, who was far from impressed with his players.

After the tirade, Spurs got a hold of the game, dominating much of the possession, but failed to trouble Đorđe Petrović in the Chelsea goal.

Postecoglou made a triple substitution before the hour mark, with Pape Sarr, Yves Bissouma, and Richarlison making way for Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Rodrigo Bentancur, and James Maddison.

The changes failed to make an impact, and soon after, Chelsea scored again. Cole Palmer's beautifully struck free kick hit the woodwork, but Nicolas Jackson reacted quickly to slot in his 11th goal of the season.
