Ange Postecoglou has poured scorn over the notion that Tottenham Hotspur could have been relegated this season, dismissing the subject as "hysteria."

Under-fire Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has leapt to the defence of young stars and hit out at ‘agenda-driven stuff’ aimed at his side. Three days on from their limp exit from the Carabao Cup at the semi-final stage against Liverpool, Spurs were dumped out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa on Sunday evening.

Head coach Ange Postecoglou says talk of Tottenham being dragged into a relegation battle was "hysteria" and believes his revitalised squad can push up the table after Saturday's 4-1 win over Ipswich. Spurs scored twice in each half at Portman Road to make it three league wins on the bounce for the first time since December 2023 and climb to 12th.
