Furious Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou responds to BBC journalist with sarcastic comment after his team's dismal 3-2 defeat to Everton.

Angry Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou snapped at a BBC journalist following his team's 3-2 defeat to Everton.

Postecoglou's team are 15th in the Premier League after suffering their 12th league defeat of the season.

The pressure is mounting on the Tottenham manager and he was involved in an exchange of words with a journalist after the game at Goodison Park.

Postecoglou was bothered by the fact that the journalist began the interview by saying that it was a “family story” for Tottenham to lose.

The journalist said: 'Ange, known story. What are your assessments of that performance, please?'

Postecoglou disagreed with the line of questioning and said: 'A family history?

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou snapped at a BBC journalist in his post-match interview.

Postecoglou was frustrated by the journalist's comments after Tottenham lost to Everton.

Explaining his choice of words, the interviewer said: “Good in terms of defeat.”

That prompted a sarcastic response from Postecoglou, who stated, “Yeah, okay.” Excellent way to start an interview.'

Postecoglou later commented on his team's performance and admitted that some of his tactical decisions, such as playing with a back three, did not have the desired effect.

He said: 'Yes, look, it was a difficult result for us. Obviously in the first half it was difficult for us to control the game. I made some changes to the team that probably didn't help in the end.

“I had players struggling to accept it, unable to take advantage of it. In the second half the players gave the right answer.”

Tottenham found themselves trailing 3-0 at half-time as they endured a woeful first half.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin put Everton ahead, and Iliman Ndiaye then made it 2-0 before an Archie Gray own goal added to Tottenham's misery.

Tottenham managed to reduce the deficit through Dejan Kulusevski in the 77th minute and were hopeful of a comeback when Richarlison scored against his former club in injury time.

However, Everton held on to secure the three points and add to Postecoglou's misery.

Tottenham came into the match off a 2-1 loss to rivals Arsenal in the north London derby.

With his team still ravaged by injuries, Postecoglou needs reinforcements in the latter stages of the transfer window.

Tottenham will be in action in the Europa League on Thursday when they face Hoffenheim.
