Spurs controlled much of the play in their Premier League game against Newcastle on Sunday (01.09.24) but ultimately fell to a 2-1 defeat after squandering a host of chances, although the coach thinks they will soon be able to turn promise into points.

Postecoglou said: "Another one that got away from us. We played well enough, certainly had the chances to win the game comfortably but you walk away with nothing, so [it's a] bitter pill to swallow but it is what it is.

"We created chances and if you don't get the second goal when you have the momentum...

"I thought we were in control of the game, we were playing in their half. The keeper's pulled off a couple of really good saves. We had the opportunities to test him even further but we didn't.

"The amount of chances we have, we really should be getting more than what we're getting as a return at the moment."

Spurs have only won one of their opening three Premier League games so far but Postecoglou expects their fortunes to turn as the season goes on.

The Australian manager said: "The positives are our football was good and has been good in all three games. We have to get the rewards for our football and what I do know is that if we continue to play like that we will get our rewards."
