Ange Postecoglou dismissed questions over his future after Tottenham hit a new "low" with a 2-1 defeat to Leicester, but retains belief the club can still achieve something special this season.

Tottenham are "playing with fire" if they do not sign new recruits during the January transfer window, manager Ange Postecoglou has said.

While Arsenal floundered against Newcastle, Spurs produced arguably their most controlled and mature performance under Postecoglou 24 hours later in their own Carabao Cup semi-final first leg to beat Liverpool at the other end of the Seven Sisters Road.
