Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou dismissed claims that his cupping gesture towards fans during the match against Chelsea was designed to provoke. After his team had a potential equaliser ruled out through VAR, Postecoglou, who faced discontent from fans over substitutions, sought to encourage support by gesturing towards the away end, noting he'd hoped to ignite excitement after a long period of struggle. The match ended in a defeat for Spurs, but his comments highlight his desire to connect with the fans despite criticism.
"I just wanted to hear them cheer. Because we'd been through a tough time... I thought it was a cracking goal. I wanted them to get really excited."
