BRIGHTON : Tottenham Hotspur's second-half capitulation to lose 3-2 at Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League was as bad as it gets, dumbfounded manager Ange Postecoglou said on Sunday.Spurs were 2-0 ahead and cruising with first-half goals by Brennan Johnson and James Maddison putting them on course for a sixth successive win in all competitions.But they crumbled after the break as goals by Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter and Danny Welbeck turned the game on its head to leave Tottenham empty-handed.Speaking to Sky Sports, Postecoglou said his players were guilty of complacency in the second half."Disappointing.

Frustrated and absolutely gutted with that. Worst defeat since I've been here," the Australian said."Unacceptable second half.

Nowhere near where we should be. We got carried away with how we were going. We kind of accepted our fate and it is hard to understand as we've not done that while I've been here.

We paid the price."The problem is we are travelling along too smoothly, football and life will trip you up if you get too far ahead of yourself.
