Who are you and what have you done with Ange Postecoglou? There was a messy goal from a set piece, a plan with pragmatism at its core and a team able to find beauty in the kind of robust performance that has so often seemed alien to Postecoglou’s entire footballing vision.All the cool came from Tottenham Hotspur in the Arctic Circle.
