The Australian boss admitted the loss was a painful one, particularly given the team's strong start to the game.
"It is a sore one, a painful one," Postecoglou told BBC News Match of the Day. "We started this game really well but as our season has been going, we lose [Cristian] Romero after 23 minutes and that disrupts us a bit and they score straight after.
Despite the setback, Postecoglou praised his team's performance, especially in the second half. "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 3-2 up."
The Tottenham manager also highlighted the impact of the two controversial penalty decisions, which he believes were crucial turning points in the match. "I thought both penalties were poor decisions by us, we have to show more discipline."
While the defeat was undoubtedly a setback, Postecoglou remains optimistic about the future. He is determined to learn from the mistakes and continue to build a team that can compete at the highest level.
