Home time
Then, Chelsea fans could be seen being escorted out of the home end after celebrating the goals a bit too vigorously.

The South Korean added: “We’ve got to stick together in such difficult moments, it’s very important and it’s why we need big support.
“The players are very young and they need support more than before and more than we had.
“The fans were always supporting amazingly but I think it’s time the players also need to step up.
“We need some big support and big cheering up.”
‘Very sloppy’
Spurs captain Son Heung-min scored a late goal but it was not nearly enough in a match that Tottenham will feel they threw away.
He told Sky Sports: “It’s very disappointing. I don’t know what to say at the moment. We did such a good game in the first half an hour. We conceded very sloppy goals.
“It feels like we lost because of these small details. On such a big stage, you need to step up and score in these moments. I feel like I let the team down and I feel very sorry for the team.
“We can’t concede goals like this. We can’t dive into this situation. I can stay here all day talking about the mistakes but I’d rather blame me with the chance and I’d rather take the blame.
“I had a bit of a different thinking when I was running to the ball. I’m also human and I miss. I feel the pain because it’s such an important moment of the game. The team tried.”
Chelsea ratings
No surprises that Marc Cucurella got a poor score given his early troubles – although it could have been lower given his response.
Here’s how SunSport’s Lloyd Canfield rated the rest of the Chelsea players after the 4-3 win.
More from Ange
Postecoglu also appeared unimpressed by the decision not to send off Moises Caicedo – and spoke on yet more injuries.
He said: “That’s what is happening in the game now, referees are leaving it to other powers that be to make decisions.
“There were a couple that didn’t go our way but there’s nothing we can do about that. It’s out of our control.”
Cristian Romero, Brennan Johnson and Van de Ven all went off seemingly nursing injuries.
Ange added: “Obviously Romero was really disappointing. He felt something in his quad after 20 minutes and couldn’t continue.
“Brennan [Johnson] wasn’t well and he tried to sort himself out at half time but he just wasn’t up to going out there.
“Micky [van de Ven] was just a bit of tiredness. The plan today was always to try and give him 60 or 70 minutes.”
‘A painful one’
Ange Postecoglu cut a rather more forlorn figure after that defeat with pressure continuing to mount given the recent poor run in form – bar that brilliant Man City win.
He told the BBC: “It is a sore one, a painful one.
“We started the game really well but as our season has been going, we lose [Cristian] Romero after 20 minutes and that disrupts us a bit and they score straight after.
“We had moments to get our third and at half-time we were in a decent position. The second half is a ding dong, especially at the start, they scored but we had a big chance with Son, we didn’t take it and then they go 3-2 up.
“I thought both penalties were poor decisions by us, we have to show more discipline. In the end the critical moments got us.
“I think there were quality opportunities but I don’t think there was an abundance of them. I can’t remember the keepers making a load of top quality saves.
“We more than matched a good side in that department and when there is quality out there you are going to have moments.
“There were things we could have done better for sure.”
