Tottenham head coach Ange Postecolgou is adamant his side do not have a problem with defending set pieces after his side fell to a North London Derby defeat.
Arsenal scored twice from corners in their 3-2 win against their deadly rivals amid a growing trend that has seen Spurs struggle at defending from dead ball situations.
Postecoglou, when asked in March, said he wasn't planning to add a specialist set-piece coach to his staff - a role a number of clubs have looked to fill in recent years.
And asked about his side's apparent difficulties with defending set plays, the Australian coach denied his team have a specific issue saying: 'No, because it's understanding where you are as a football team.
'If I thought fixing defensive set pieces was the answer to us bridging the gap then I'd put all of my time and effort into that. But that's not where we're at.
