Ange Postecoglou 'is facing an FA probe' after claiming 'things weren't equal' over controversial refereeing decisions in Tottenham's loss to Newcastle

Ange Postecoglou is reportedly is reportedly facing an FA probe over his comments following Tottenham's 2-1 home defeat by Newcastle.

Spurs continued their poor form as they suffered a 10th league defeat of the season and Postecoglou was left aggrieved by some of referee Andrew Madley's decisions.

His sense of injustice revolved around Newcastle's first goal, an equaliser scored by Anthony Gordon after the ball clearly struck Joelinton on the hand as he blocked a pass.

Referee Madley did not see an offence and it was not overruled by the VAR Chris Kavanagh because Joelinton's hand was in a natural position and the contact was ruled to be accidental.
