Tottenham’s new boss Ange Postecoglou would sit back and relish how his team has been doing great since the start of the new season.
His Spurs side had come back twice, going toe-to-toe with the Gunners in a match that ended 2-2 in favour of the visitors.
“[Postecoglou] is really clear. He is really straight. We know what he expects from us. We know what we have to do for him,” defender Micky van de Ven said.
Speaking after the match, captain Son Heung-Min said:
“That’s what we’re working on. We want to play our football. We showed how we want to play the whole season: it doesn’t matter who we’re playing against. It was very important,” he said.
“Obviously we made some mistakes and they had chances, but still we want to play in that way. With that young team, I think it’s very very good. It’s credit to the players that they took risks and want to play with that bravery.”
“Obviously you can’t see our training sessions, but everyone is working really, really hard to be part of it,” Son said.
“This performance wasn’t just random. If you see our training sessions every single day, it is not normal. We are working really, really hard, intense. Everyone is pressuring each other to improve, which is very, very good.
“If you have a young team with good rhythm, we can exploit this situation, and that’s what we’re looking for. The younger players are covering the inexperience with passion and bravery, which is very important. I hope we can continue in this way [moving forward].”
