Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou fumes after making wrong substitution due to admin error in Brentford clash | The Sun

ANGE POSTECOGLOU was left furious after his first-half substitution did NOT go down as a concussion change due to Tottenham filling out the WRONG FORM.

The Australian, 57, was forced to replace Cristian Romero with Davinson Sanchez in the 14th minute of their 2-2 draw with Brentford on Sunday.


It came after Romero had gone down moments earlier following a head clash.

And the swap was meant to go down as a concussion substitution – which would have seen Postecoglou retain his five changes for the remainder of the game.

Speaking after the match, Postecoglou said: "The disappointing thing is that apparently, we filled out the wrong form for a concussion sub.

"That is madness in this day and age. It is pretty clear why we took the guy off.

"It is black and white for us, we're not going to take any risks with our people when we know what the repercussions are.

"He seems fine but the player is not the one who knows these things."

Life under Postecoglou began with an entertaining draw at the Gtech Community Stadium.
