Ange Postecoglou says his response to the booing Tottenham fans in their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea was misinterpreted.

Spurs fans chanted "you don't know what you're doing" at their under-fire boss as he replaced Lucas Bergvall with Pape Sarr just past the hour with their team trailing and yet to register a shot on target.

When Sarr scored from range just five minutes later, Postecoglou turned to the Spurs fans and appeared to cup his ears in what was perceived by some to be a response to the boos. The goal was ruled out after a lengthy VAR check.

But Postecoglou was bemused by this suggestion and insisted he just wanted the fans to enjoy the moment, sensing that if the goal had counted the momentum of the game would have turned for his team.
