Tottenham were found wanting in a lacklustre first-half performance against Chelsea and Ange Postecoglou\u2019s frustrations turned to anger on the touchline, with the Spurs boss seen laying into Pape Matar Sarr and Cristian Romero after his side fell behind.<\/p>\n After back-to-back Premier League defeats at the hands of Newcastle and Arsenal, Postecoglou will have been desperate for a reaction from his players at Stamford Bridge, but it was nowhere to be seen in the opening 45 minutes.<\/p>\n Chelsea \u2013 also seeking a response after three games without victory \u2013 were much the better team before the halfway stage in west London and the pressure told in the 24th minute.<\/p>\n Trevoh Chalobah \u2013 starting his second game in succession \u2013 found the back of the net with a powerful header past Guglielmo Vicario and the goal was eventually given after referee Robert Jones\u2019 long consultation with VAR.<\/p>\n Ten minutes later, an enraged Postecoglou could be heard barking orders from the edge of his technical area before Sky Sports\u2019 cameras captured the Australian completely losing it with Sarr and Romero, giving the pair the full hairdryer treatment.<\/p>\n \u2018Stop passing it f***ing backwards,\u2019 Postecoglou appeared to yell before ordering Sarr and Romero press with greater intensity.<\/p>\n Manchester United legend Gary Neville, providing co-commentary for Sky Sports, appeared less than surprised by Postecoglou given the visitors had been \u2018nowhere near it\u2019 against their London rivals.<\/p>\n \u2018He\u2019s having a right go at Sarr, he\u2019s having a right go at Romero. He has snapped, Ange Postecoglou,\u2019 Neville said.<\/p>\n \u2018The football that you would associate with his team has just not happened.<\/p>\n \u2018They\u2019re nowhere near it in possession, Tottenham Hotspur.\u2019<\/p>\n Former England midfielder Karen Carney, meanwhile, who had been sat just behind Postecoglou at the time of his fit of rage, said she had never seen the manager so emotional.<\/p>\n \u2018Angry Ange! Honestly, I\u2019ve never seen him so angry and animated,\u2019 she said while analysing Tottenham\u2019s poor first-half display.<\/p>\n \u2018They played into midfield and kept giving it away and it really is about [Brennan] Johnson and Son [Heung-min] and they missed it.<\/p>\n \u2018They played into that, they lose possession and they give away this free-kick which leads to Chalobah\u2019s goal.\u2019<\/p>\n For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on \n\t \n\t \n\t This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \n \t\t\t\t\t![\"Spurs](\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-02-at-20.23.56-60de.png?quality=90&strip=all&zoom=1&resize=644%2C401\")
