Ange Postecoglou matches key Jose Mourinho feat that not even Antonio Conte could emulate after Tottenham’s 2-1 Europa League win
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou achieved an important achievement as he guided his side to victory in the Europa League on Thursday.
Postecoglou’s team won 2-1 against Ferencvaros to maintain their winning start to their Europa League campaign.
Pape Matar Sarr put Tottenham ahead before Brennan Johnson added a late goal, with the visitors having the upper hand despite Barnabas Varga scoring for Ferencvaros.
With the victory, Postecoglou equaled a feat previously achieved by Jose Mourinho as Tottenham manager.
Even Antonio Conte, who was in charge from November 2021 to March 2023, could not match that streak.

After overcoming Ferencvaros, Postecoglou has now overseen five consecutive victories for Tottenham in all competitions.
That followed successes against Manchester United (Premier League), Qarabag (Europa League), Brentford (Premier League) and Coventry (Carabao Cup).
As reported by SquawkaThe last time Tottenham enjoyed such an impressive run was between February and March 2021, when Mourinho was in charge.
Jose Mourinho led Tottenham to five straight wins during the 2020/21 season

In that series of matches, Tottenham won against Wolfsberg, Burnley, Fulham, Crystal Palace and Dinamo Zagreb before losing to Arsenal.
Postecoglou’s team will look to keep their winning run going when they play Brighton on Sunday.
Furthermore, Postecoglou hopes to do better than Mourinho by winning a trophy during his time as Tottenham manager.
