Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou believes it was only natural Manchester City would drop from their “unprecedented standard” but would not be surprised to see them win the Premier League next season. Spurs host Pep Guardiola’s faltering champions on Wednesday with the chance to register a third win against them this season.

After three wins on the bounce Ange Postecoglou will have been disappointed to see his side drop points at home to Manchester City. Spurs were slow to start the game, which ultimately cost them.
