Ange Postecoglou admitted that "wasteful" Tottenham Hotspur lost their composure as Jamie Vardy's second-half equaliser gave Leicester City a 1-1 English Premier League draw against his profligate team on Aug 19.
The newly promoted Leicester survived a series of costly Spurs misses either side of Pedro Porro's first-half opener for the visitors at the King Power Stadium.
Vardy then made Tottenham pay for their erratic finishing with a typically predatory header in the 57th minute, capping his surprise appearance just days after he had been ruled out by manager Steve Cooper after suffering a pre-season injury.
The 37-year-old has now scored nine Premier League goals in 17 appearances against Spurs, who trudged off wondering how they had failed to demolish the Foxes during their dominant first-half display.
"Disappointing night for us. First half excellent and controlled the game but wasteful in front of goal.
Once Leicester scored, the crowd lifted and we lost our composure," Postecoglou lamented.
"It was an issue we had last year as well. We need to keep working hard and be a bit more ruthless in front of goal. At times, we made poor decisions.
"The dominance is great but if you don't score, it is meaningless.
