Ange Postecoglou told journalists to "stop asking" about Newcastle United's equaliser and claimed it wasn't a "fair game".

The Tottenham boss served up a snappy four minute press conference before leaving his seat in the plush Spurs media auditorium. Postecoglou essentially suggested journalists would be looking for a spicy headline after Anthony Gordon's equaliser stood following a moment which saw Joelinton appear to use his arm in the build-up to the sixth minute goal.

Postecoglou said after the game: "I am angry as I have ever been in my career. You can talk about whatever you want. You want my opinion - if all things were equal and balanced we would have won.

"We had plenty of chances. Our football was outstanding considering everything we're going through. If it was an even playing field we'd have won. I know what you want me to say so stop asking. I know you just want me to say something I think it is clear."

The Aussie boss then stated that despite the controversy he was proud of his players, adding: "On the balance of play, any balance you want with all things being equal, we would have won today.

"Outstanding. I couldn't be prouder of the players. I couldn't ask any more. It's a game we would have won if all things were equal. If all things were equal and balanced we would have won today. Things weren't equal and balanced."

Spurs had taken an early lead through Dominic Solanke before Gordon's leveller and Alexander Isak's tap in.
