Spurs’ mentality was ‘first rate’ – Postecoglou

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou was full of praise for his team after the 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Timo Werner scored his first goal for the club in a convincing derby victory.

“Persistence, some quality, belief. It wasn’t easy game with them sitting so deep,” Postecoglou said.

“We needed a goal to open them up but still kept composed and disciplined. When they got their goal it was only time they got the ball in our half. The reaction was outstanding.

“It was a game we should have won a lot more comfortably but we had real belief in the process and were not getting swayed by things not going our way. I thought the mentality was first rate.”
