Football: Ange Postecoglou is back in Melbourne along with Tottenham as they prepare for their friendly

Postecoglou's Spurs touch down in Aus | 01:06Newcastle United have played the role of party-poopers for Ange Postecoglou ’s long-awaited homecoming to his native Melbourne on Wednesday night.

News of a penalty shootout certainly came as a surprise to Postecoglou who was clearly taken aback when he was informed of it as he searched for Newcastle counterpart Eddie Howe to shake his hand after the final whistle. The Spurs vice-captain obliged by zigzagging his way through Newcastle’s defence and fired it past Pope who got a hand on it but not enough to stop it from rippling the net.

There was a trumpeter’s rendition of “Oh When The Spurs Go Marching In”, and a huge group of Newcastle fans at the Punt Road end were waving black-and-white flags in unison. He capped his first Newcastle appearance by scoring in the penalty shootout with a perfectly-placed shot that flew past Spurs goalie Alfie Whiteman.
