Shocking footage of Ange Postecoglou clashing with a fan after Tottenham Hotspur's 2-1 loss to Ipswich Town has emerged online.

On Sunday afternoon, newly-promoted Ipswich Town earned their first win of the season beating Tottenham Hotspur in London.

Despite many predicting Tottenham would challenge for the top four this season, the loss leaves Tottenham in 10th, while it took Ipswich out of the relegation zone and into 17th.

And after the final whistle, footage on social media has revealed that Spurs boss Postecoglou clashed with a home fan at the ground following the disappointing result.

The footage posed on X by Chris Cowlin shows the Australian manager heading towards the tunnel with his players after the match.

But as he prepared to leave the pitch, a fan shouted something at Postecoglou which clearly struck a nerve, as the Tottenham boss stopped to look at the crowd and figure out who had made the comment.

The frustrated fan was not the only one in the stadium angered by the performance, as boos from the home supporters could supposedly clearly be heard once the final whistle was blown.

Sunday's result comes as the 59-year-old continues to face mounting pressure about his future at the club, as he has struggled to establish consistency in his side's performances.

With 16 points, Tottenham have won five matches in the Premier League this season, losing another five and drawing one.

This leaves them three points away from a pack of four teams who sit from third to sixth, only separated by goal difference, and a massive 12 points off league leaders Liverpool.

When asked about his side's inconsistency this season, Postecoglou told BBC Sport: "It's just down to me. I’m not getting consistent performances from the players.

"It's something I need to address. I'm the person in charge so that's usually the way it goes.

"I take responsibility when their performances don't meet the levels that they should."
