Tottenham's away woes continue as Crystal Palace secures their first win in delightful style! Is Postecoglou's magic wearing off?

Tottenham Hotspur had a rough ride last weekend, making even the stormy weather in London seem mild by comparison. Under the watchful eye of Aussie coach Ange Postecoglou, the Spurs have managed to win only a third of their away matches in the Premier League. This disappointing stat has fans wondering if Postecoglou can get his squad back on track. Following an embarrassing 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace, who just scored their very first win after eight attempts, the heat is on for Spurs to step up their game.

In what can only be described as a baffling display, Spurs appeared toothless in attack, failing to capitalize on their opportunities. Postecoglou, known for his passionate demeanor, expressed his frustration during a post-match presser stating, "Is there a question?" The defeat did not sit well with the fans who traveled to Selhurst Park, further fueling concerns about Spurs' tactical prowess and mental fortitude. With their latest setback, it seems that their title aspirations are slipping further away like a sunset in Sydney’s skies.

On the other hand, Crystal Palace marked this victory as a turning point. Under the management of Oliver Glasner, they celebrated their season's first win with Jean-Philippe Mateta's brilliant strike, which sent the Eagles soaring high. This is a significant morale boost, especially after facing three consecutive defeats and scoring just a single goal. Palace’s performance sent ripples of hope through Selhurst Park, making the fans ecstatic and rejuvenated, finally seeing their team’s potential come to life.

As Spurs head back to the drawing board, it’s worth remembering that even the most seasoned teams have their ups and downs. For Postecoglou, who started his career coaching at the youth level, this is a test of his tactical mettle. Did you know that before this, he guided the Australian national team to a Copa America victory in 2021? With a record as impressive as that, there’s still potential for a turnaround. And who could forget that Crystal Palace has been known for pulling off upsets against top-tier teams? Let’s hope they maintain this newfound vigor as the season unfolds!
