Glenn Hoddle has questioned Ange Postecoglou's uncompromising tactics after Tottenham played a high defensive line despite being reduced to nine players against Chelsea.
In a frenetic affair, Spurs were reduced to nine men following red cards for Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie against London rivals Chelsea, with the returning Mauricio Pochettino looking to get one over his old club.
But despite their two-man disadvantage, Postecoglou instructed his players to continue playing free-flowing attacking football, which left his makeshift defence at risk of serious exposure.
Indeed, Chelsea ran out 4-1 winners after two late Nicolas Jackson goals in injury time, with questions raised as to whether the Australian should have approached the game differently.
