Ange Postecoglou admits Tottenham's chaotic defeat by Chelsea spiralled 'out of control' while claiming VAR is 'eroding the authority of referees' after officials disallowed FIVE goals

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou believes Monday night's chaotic defeat to Chelsea spiralled ‘out of control’ following another night of refereeing controversy.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino’s first return to Spurs was overshadowed by pandemonium on the pitch as nine-man Tottenham lost their first Premier League game of the season courtesy of Nicolas Jackson’s hat-trick and Cole Palmer’s penalty.

The clash saw five goals disallowed through VAR, Cristian Romero and Destiny Odogie sent off for Spurs, Postecoglou booked and Ricky van de Ven suffer a ‘significant’ hamstring injury.
