Ange: "Things weren't equal and balanced"
“On the balance of play, any balance you want with all things being equal we would have won today,” says Tottenham’s head coach in an interview with the BBC.
“Outstanding. I couldn’t be prouder of the players. I couldn’t ask any more. It’s a game we would have won if all things were equal. If all things were equal and balanced we would have won today. Things weren’t equal and balanced.”
Asked if he’s talking about Newcastle’s contentious opener, he says: “You can talk about whatever you want. You want my opionion - if all things were equal and balanced we would have won.
“We had plenty of chances. Our football was outstanding considering everything we’re going through. If it was an even playing field we’d have won.”
On keeper Brandon Austin: “Really good. The moments we are going through are putting big asks on players and they’re rising to the occasion. The performance deserved a victory.”
He’s not happy with the officials, is he?
