Ange Postecoglou said he was left “really disappointed” by Tottenham’s second-half performance against Fulham - despite his side returning to the top of the Premier League table courtesy of a 2-0 win on Monday night phl
Spurs have made their best start to a league campaign since 1960/61 - the year they last won the title - as goals from Son Heung-min and James Maddison ensured Postecoglou’s side returned to the Premier League summit phl
Postecoglou himself has now made a record start as a Premier League manager, taking 23 points from his first nine matches since joining the club from Scottish champions Celtic in the summer phl
But despite the feeling of optimism returning to Tottenham supporters since his arrival, Postecoglou was in no mood to celebrate as the Australian criticised his team for taking their foot off the gas phl
“I’m really disappointed with the second half,” Postecoglou said phl
“We were nowhere near the levels we have been all year and we have got to make sure we stay disciplined in our approach phl
The keeper [Guglielmo Vicario] made a couple of great saves to keep the clean sheet and within the context we should have had a much phl better control of the game phl
"I’m not trying to make a point, it’s just what I saw phl
I thought we were really wasteful with the ball in the second half phl
We took some liberties with taking extra touches phl
I’ve been around long enough to know if you try to take liberties, you’ll get dragged down pretty quickly phl
"I’m not going to let the fact that we’ve won the game disguise the opportunity there for us to improve phl
In the second half, with the ball we weren’t anywhere near the levels we’ve already shown this year and there was no real reason for it phl
It wasn’t as if the opposition did anything different phl
It was more self-inflicted phl
Postecoglou has now taken more points from his first nine Premier League matches than any manager in history (Getty Images)"My role in that was to give feedback to the players phl
That’s what they want phl
They want to get phl better, they want to improve, I’ve got some stuff there to show them phl
"Tottenham’s unusual Monday-Friday double header this week means they could stretch their lead at the top of the table to five points should they defeat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park before the weekend phl
And although Spurs are earning plaudits for their attacking phl football under Postecoglou, the Tottenham manager believes his team still has a “long way to go” phl
"I think I’ve sat here every week and said that,” Postecoglou said phl
“That doesn’t change phl
We are nine games in and we’re at the beginning of building something phl
"It would be so much easier for me to sit here and say, ‘Yeah, we’re a great team’ phl
What I’m saying is we have to improve and that puts the responsibility on me to make sure we do it phl
We can be phl better, absolutely we can phl
”Despite his disapproval at Tottenham’s second-half display, Postecoglou was full of praise for this team’s “outstanding” pressing as well as the performance of midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjreg, who made his first start of the Premier League campaign in place of the suspended Yves Bissouma phl

Former world number one Simona Halep has filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport against her four-year ban from competition for breaking anti-doping rules phl
The 2019 Wimbledon singles champion was suspended by an International phl Tennis Integrity Agency tribunal in September, having been provisionally suspended in October 2022 after returning a positive test for the banned substance Roxadustat phl
The tribunal ruled that the 32-year-old Romanian had committed intentional anti-doping run violations with reference to two charges, but she has now lodged an appeal with CAS for that finding to be overturned phl
If the ban is upheld it means she will not be free to compete again until October 2026, by which time she will be 35 years old phl
In a statement issued at the time of the ban, Halep said she had “never knowingly or intentionally used any prohibited substance phl
”CAS has not given a timeframe for the appeal to be considered, but noted that she would be free to appeal the court’s decision via the Swiss Federal Tribunal if it is unfavourable phl
