Ange Postecoglou has lashed out at 'offensive' comments made towards him and claimed that some of the criticism could be down to his accent. His Tottenham team came out on top in a memorable seven-goal thriller on Thursday to take them to the semi-finals of the EFL Cup and within touching distance of long-awaited silverware.

They looked to be out of sight after they claimed a 3-0 lead thanks to a brace from Dominic Solanke, either side of a Dejan Kulusevski tap-in from a poor Lisandro Martinez clearance. But two howlers by goalkeeper Fraser Forster invited United back into the tie. First, a misplaced pass enabled Bruno Fernandes to set up Joshua Zirkzee. Then a poor touch from a back pass delayed his clearance which was charged down by Amad Diallo and into the net.

A late Heung-Min Son strike directly from a corner settled the nerves, before the Red Devils pulled back a consolation goal through Jonny Evans. And Postecoglou has come out firing after the win, labelling some of the comments directed at him 'offensive' and giving a reason why he might be prone to so much criticism.

He said: 'There is some stuff out there that I find, and at the appropriate time I'll call it out, just offensive towards me. 'I'm up here with a silly accent and maybe I don't take things as seriously as people want me to and I'm fairly dismissive of them, but that's all right.
