Postecoglou blanks Udogie after ‘mad’ moment sees Tottenham reduced to NINE men
DESTINY UDOGIE was blanked by Ange Postecoglou after being sent off for Tottenham.
The full-back was shown a second yellow card after a rash lunge on Raheem Sterling during the clash with Chelsea.
Udogie's moment of "madness" saw Spurs go down to nine men after Cristian Romero's earlier dismissal.
Having been lucky to avoid a red in the first half, the Italian slid in on Sterling in an attempt to win the ball back.
However, the Chelsea man beat him to the ball, with Udogie appearing aware he was set to be sent off by Michael Oliver.
As he trudged off the pitch and down the tunnel, though, his manager Postecoglou did not react.

His dismissal came after Spurs had already been reduced to ten men in the first half.
Romero was shown a straight red card after a VAR review penalised him for a foul on Enzo Fernandez.
The challenge also resulted in a penalty for the visitors, with Cole Palmer scoring to pull his side level.
Spurs had been in front through Dejan Kulusevski before the two red cards forced them into a defensive approach.
