In truth, Tottenham deserved nothing and a vocal element of Spurs' core support want the 59-year-old out before their do-or-die Europa League quarter final with Eintracht Frankfurt – with a Champions League group stage spot up for grabs to the tournament winner.
But that looks a million miles away for both Tottenham and their ashen-faced manager after the latest defeat – their 16th of a brutal Premier League season.
Sky Sports host David Jones painted the scene of acrimony inside Stamford Bridge before the boss strongly denied he turned his own supporters after the equaliser that was ruled out.
Ange reacted to raging Tottenham fans
He said: "He has stayed away here, he's stayed closer to the halfway line but encouraged his players to go over but Ange Postecoglou has, very much, kept his distance."
Pundit Jamie Redknapp added that Postecoglou has "just got to keep his head up" but Chelsea hero Gary Cahill was seriously unimpressed with what he watched.
Postecoglou denied he had it in for his own fans as he focused on the decision to rule out Sarr's goal.
