How 10-man Tottenham were beaten by a Victor Osimhen-inspired Galatasaray in the Europa League

A little later in the press conference, Postecoglou was asked how he thought his younger players got on in a tough environment.

“Will (Lankshear) took his goal well, he worked hard for the team,” said the Tottenham manager. “He would have learnt a lot today. The red card, it was a bit of over enthusiasm in that moment to give away a foul, but he’ll learn from that

“The same with Lucas (Bergvall) here. Giving him an understanding of the levels here. It is not easy when you are playing away in Europe.

“I thought Archie (Gray) was great. It was a tough game for us defensively at different times but I think we’ll get so much growth out of him because he’s not playing in his position. I guess for three teenagers in the starting line-up, I think they’ll learn a lot from it and hopefully it helps with their development.”
