Ange Postecoglou shares his thoughts on how Dane Scarlett performed in Tottenham 2-1 Burnley

Ange Postecoglou has now shared his thoughts on how Dane Scarlett performed in Tottenham’s 2-1 win over Burnley.

The Spurs No.44 made just his third Premier Le🐷ague appearance under the Australian on Saturday, coming off the bench to play the final 15 minutes – a period in which Micky van de Ven scored the winning goal.

After full-time in N17, Ange Postecoglou revealed what he thought of Dane Scarlett‘s display for Tottenham

What Ange Postecoglou thought of Dane Scarlett cameo

It may have only been a 15-minute cameo, but the 58-year-old was s🍷till left impressed by th꧅e England U20 international’s endeavour against the Clarets.

As quoted by Football London, Postecoglou : “I had to get creative with the set-up, knowing that in the last half hour we would probably be dominant from a physical perspective, because we have been – pretty consistentl𒆙y. So, having a set-up that at least gave us a chance to take advantage of the ch𒅌ances we had, Dane came on and worked really hard.”

It has be🍷en a tough 2023/24🌃 campaign for the 20-year-old.

Scarlett made just Championship appearances on loan at Ipswich in the first half of the season, so it was good to see Postecoglou hand the Lo💧ndone🐠r some substantial minutes on Saturday.

How 20-year-old performed against Burnley

Scarlett won’t officially get the assist, but i🐼t was his selfless run which created space for Van de Ven to bag the winner.

Aside from that smart movement, the Tottenh🐠am academy graduate did in fact work hard, as Postecoglou n🐭oticed.

SofaScore shows that Scarlett recorded successful tackle and also won a freekick, on an afternoon where he certainly didn’t shy away from ge✱tting involved in the action with 15 minutes to impress🍒.

Hopefully, the youngster – who Jose Mourinho once called a “diamond” – did enough to earn some more playing time in the final two games of the season, wh💦ich come against Manchester City and Sheffield United.
