Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou has admitted he does not know if he will still be in charge in two weeks' time but insists he still feels the support of the dressing room.

The Australian was without 10 injured players for the match and said "at least two others", including midfielder Pape Matar Sarr, were not fit enough to start the game in less extreme circumstances.

But Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Yves Bissouma and Djed Spence are among the players who could be available in the next "10 days to two weeks", which Postecoglou hopes will give his side "the boost they need...to make an impact in the second half of the season".

Richarlison marked his first league start of the second by opening the scoring with a well-taken header but Spurs imploded in a four-minute period after the break.

Deservedly leading 1-0 at the break through Richarlison’s header, Spurs conceded twice in four minutes at the start of the second half with Jamie Vardy tapping in from close range and Bilal El Khannouss finishing from the edge of the box.

Tottenham suffered a surprise defeat at home to Leicester as the Foxes came from behind to beat Spurs 2-1.
