Ange Postecoglou says \u2018we\u2019ll get through it\u2019 after Tottenham are beaten again<\/h3>\n

Arsenal hero Theo Walcott roasted Tottenham on Sunday just hours after the Lilywhites had suffered their third consecutive Premier League defeat. Spurs went head-to-head with Aston Villa at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in their first encounter since the international break but lost the match 2-1.<\/p>\n

Walcott joined Danny Murphy and Jermaine Jenas in the Match of the Day 2 studio to analyse Villa\u2019s trip to Tottenham and Manchester United\u2019s 3-0 victory at Everton. And as he gave his thoughts on Ollie Watkins\u2019 winner in north London, the former winger couldn\u2019t resist a jibe at the Lilywhites\u2019 expense.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I really enjoyed first of all is the slight sort of body movement\u201d, he remarked as he spoke about the England striker. \u201cBecause he\u2019s been running in behind pretty much the whole game, he\u2019s just put Ben Davies in doubt a little bit. You see Ben Davies wants to come in but then he drops back and gives him the space.<\/p>\n

And Walcott added: \u201cI lived off running in behind Tottenham, particularly, so I\u2019m pretty happy.\u201d Presenter Mark Chapman clearly saw the funny side of Walcott\u2019s dig as he burst into a fit of laughter and exclaimed: \u201cWhoa, you\u2019ve gone early there, Theo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tottenham had stormed to the top of the Premier League table earlier this season following a formidable start to the new campaign. But they have now dropped to fifth and have been cut four points adrift of league leaders Arsenal following defeats against Chelsea, Wolves and Villa this month.<\/p>\n

Spurs may count themselves unlucky to lose to the Villans, however, after carving out a hatful of chances and seeing three goals from Son Heung-min ruled out for offside. And following the encounter, manager Ange Postecoglou insisted he was happy with the performance of his players.<\/p>\n
