Ange Postecoglou has revealed what Pep Guardiola said to him after Tottenham’s enthralling 3-3 draw with Manchester City. 

City and Tottenham were involved in a dramatic encounter and after the final whistle Guardiola and Postecoglou reflected on the entertainment that their teams had provided.

Postecoglou added that he has been informed that Guardiola has often been very complimentary about him. 

‘He’s got a fantastic team, he’s had a fantastic team for such a long time and I obviously want to beat them but you can appreciate just what a fantastic football team they are.

‘I guess he’s always been not just publicly but privately always been very complimentary about me and my work. Not directly to me but I’ve found out through other sources, which coming from someone like him, I have great respect for.’

Tottenham took an early lead through Son Heung-min, but he scored an own goal shortly afterwards. Phil Foden then put City ahead before an excellent strike from Giovani Lo Celso pulled Tottenham level. 

Jack Grealish restored City’s lead prior to Dejan Kulusevski’s late equaliser for Tottenham. 

City appeared set to get a fourth goal in stoppage time as Erling Haaland looked to play in Grealish, but referee Simon Hooper controversially gave City a free-kick further back for a foul on Haaland.

That prompted an angry response from City players, especially Haaland himself, who was livid.

Postecoglou had promised prior to the game that he wouldn’t deviate from his usual attacking style of play. That was what transpired as Tottenham and City were involved in an excellent game.

Although Tottenham have only taken one point from their last four Premier League games, Postecoglou will undoubtedly be very pleased with some aspects of his team’s performance against City.
