Tottenham lost 1-2 to Newcastle in the 20th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 4th (Korea time). With the defeat, Tottenham has only won two games (three draws and five losses) in the last 10 official matches. The league table has fallen to 12th place.
Tottenham scored the first goal even though Son Heung-min and James Madison were excluded from the starting lineup. Dominic Solanke scored in the fourth minute of the first half to take the lead. However, the lead did not last long. Anthony Gordon's score in the sixth minute of the first half balanced Newcastle.
Tottenham did not hold out until the first half and allowed a come-from-behind goal. In the 38th minute of the first half, Aleksandar Isaac scored for Newcastle to take the lead. Later, Tottenham strengthened its attack by putting Son Heung-min in the second half, but failed to score an additional goal and lost.
Postecoglou did not hide his anger at the post-match press conference. He "I'm really angry. I think I'm the angriest I've ever been in a director's career"It was not rewarded even with fantastic performance. I pay tribute to the players. Everyone knows what I'm trying to say, but what I can say is that if we played in a fair and equal environment, we would have won the game."

After answering other questions, he concluded his press conference and expressed his anger once again. Postecoglou "Given what we've been through and the situation we're in, I pay tribute to the players who have shown their performance. I think it was outstanding. That's why I'm really angry. I'm really angry because the players' performances weren't compensated properly."
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min also expressed regret over the decision. In an interview with Sports Chosun after the game, Son Heung-min said "It's too bad that there must be a lot of unexpected situations while playing soccer."From our point of view, I think it has no choice but to say that it is an unfair judgment. In fact, it doesn't change just because we protest. It's because we can't change the outcome either. I'm just disappointed that the result is so disappointing" he replied.
