As the English football community becomes smitten with the Australian coach, his team, Tottenham, has now claimed the top spot on the table with a 1-0 victory against Luton. This win puts them two points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, who will face title rivals Arsenal on Sunday night.
The victory wasn’t easy, as Tottenham had to overcome the dismissal of Yves Bissouma for diving just before half-time. However, a goal from Mickey van de Ven shortly after the break secured the win, making it six victories in eight league games for unbeaten Tottenham.
Postecoglou praised his team’s character and resilience, acknowledging the difficult circumstances they faced after the red card. He believes they held it together well and ultimately earned three points at a challenging venue like Kenilworth Road.
Tottenham’s impressive start under Postecoglou has sparked dreams of an unexpected title challenge. Although it may still be a daunting task for the team, the Greek Australian coach has made a significant impact on a club that was in turmoil when he arrived, especially with the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.
Postecoglou’s attacking tactics have injected new energy into Tottenham, but this gritty performance showcased the team’s ability to grind out results as well. It is also worth noting that this unbeaten start is the best ever made by a Tottenham manager, and with upcoming fixtures against Fulham and Crystal Palace, they have the potential to extend their unbeaten run throughout October.
