Ange Postecoglou, cheered to the rafters by Spurs fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after a thumping London derby triumph, has cut a very different figure to the man left fuming and stewing before the international break.
To complete a tale of two second-halves, Spurs returned to action on Saturday with a stirring comeback triumph, coming from a goal down to destroy West Ham 4-1 with a blistering display after the break in which they scored three goals in eight minutes.
It could not have been more different from their previous 45 minutes of action against Brighton a fortnight earlier when, two goals up, they capitulated so feebly to lose 3-2 after the break that Postecoglou sounded more hurt and frustrated than at any time during his Spurs reign.
