Read our privacy policy Ange Postecoglou claimed responsibility for an abject Tottenham Hotspur display after their 2-0 loss at Chelsea and admitted his players looked to have lost belief in his football. Familiar problems reared their ugly heads for Tottenham, with a Trevor Chalobah header from Conor Gallagher’s 24th-minute free-kick enough to give Chelsea a deserved half-time lead, with that goal the 15th the visitors have conceded from set-pieces this season. It wasn’t about conceding the goal, it was our approach to playing football and we were nowhere near good enough,” Postecoglou reflected. It’s a bit unlike us because if nothing else we’ve always been competitive, especially in the first half it was missing.” After Postecoglou had faced a number of questions about set-pieces on Wednesday, after they let in two goals from corners against Arsenal, he could only watch on in horror as Chalobah was left unmarked at the back post and able to steer Gallagher’s cross beyond Guglielmo Vicario.
