Ange Postecoglou talks to TNT Sport. “Really happy with them … it’s never easy going away in Europe … the atmosphere … the conditions … we knew we would be able to overpower them with our running … we had some decent players on the bench and there’s no point just leaving them there … they’re not on holiday … Budapest is a beautiful city but they had to put in a shift … it’s an important part of our evolution as a team.”
And with that, the report’s up! Thanks for reading this MBM.

That was rollocking good fun. Not sure Spurs fans, whose nerves will have been put through the shredder towards the end, will totally agree, but there you have it. Ange Postecoglou’s young side overcame some early nerves to take a first-half lead through Pape Sarr. They should have added to it way before Brennan Johnson eventually did – we’re looking at you, Timo Werner, again – but then Ferencváros had their opportunities to score as well. Spurs deserved to win on balance, and yet only the picky and the partial could have begrudged Ferencváros had they managed to squeak something out of this game. Both teams contributed to an entertaining tie, and Barnabás Varga’s late consolation should give the Hungarians succour going forward. Spurs, however, march on, and for the next two hours at least, the top of the Europa League megatable looks like this …
