Spurs concede late equaliser against RomaAnge asked about winning vs entertainmentTottenham are ninth in Europa League tableFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Postecoglou watched his side concede a late equaliser against Roma on Thursday as they missed out on the chance to jump into the top eight of the Europa League standings. It wasn't for the want of trying, though – Spurs had 24 shots on goal and were left to rue their profligacy as Mats Hummels scored in injury-time to make it 2-2.

Spurs shipped a lot of chances too – the Italians had 18 shots of their own – and Postecoglou was asked whether he will place a greater focus on securing wins in Spurs' final three league phase games. But the defiant Australian vowed to never stop entertaining as he emphasised his desire to see the game played in an exciting way.
WHAT POSTECOGLOU SAID
When asked if he would be more pragmatic in search of qualification to the knockout stages, Postecoglou replied with a smile: "No. Why can't it just be entertaining? Isn't that why we all come? Would you really prefer us to kind of sketch out a couple of 0-0 draws and a 1-0 win and we get through? I don't know, I'd much rather we are exciting to watch.
"Maybe it is edge of the seat stuff and sometimes you don't get the reward like we could have tonight, but I think if you want those kind of games mate, there's plenty in world football you could watch every weekend. I'd like to think when you tune in to us, you'll get entertained."
