Ange Postecoglou is speaking to the media following the 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa in the Premier League on Friday evening.

In a makeshift side with the Europa League final in mind, Postecoglou did hand Son Heung-min his first start since mid-April, with a first Premier League start of the season for Sergio Reguilon and 17-year-old Mikey Moore was also handed a start while Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie did not even travel to Villa Park. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was on the bench with the rest of the likely starters in the final as Antonin Kinsky started the game.

The first half brought an organised display from the makeshift Spurs line-up and they had a few good chances through Son and Wilson Odobert, while Antonin Kinsky made a great save from Ollie Watkins.

However, in the second half Villa found the breakthrough after the hour mark when Ezri Konsa hooked home after a corner was headed into the six-yard box. Villa scored a second with just over 15 minutes remaining. Boubacar Kamara found space on the edge of the box and his low shot flew past Kinsky.

Our Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold is among those putting the questions to Postecoglou after the 21st Premier League defeat of the season for the north London outfit. Scroll down for his latest updates from the press conference at Villa Park.
