It was a disappointing result for Spurs last time out, as they lost 3-2 to London rivals West Ham on Tuesday.
A poor first half was followed by a much more promising display in the second, and Postecoglou will feel aggrieved not to have at least drawn the game after his side created a slew of chances in Perth.
Fans got their first glimpse at that attacking football Postecoglou has been promising. There were also impressive performances from the likes of Destiny Udogie, Giovani Lo Celso, and Pape Matar Sarr to get excited about.
Next up for Spurs is Leicester City. The Foxes, recently relegated from the Premier League, are looking to rebuild ahead of their upcoming campaign in the Championship.

Tottenham will play Leicester on Sunday 23rd July 2023, with a kick-off time of 11am BST. The game is being held at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, as Spurs move on from their base in Australia.

Team news for Tottenham v Leicester
The key focus will be on James Maddison and Harry Winks, who swapped clubs this summer and could be set to play against their old teammates in this game.
The likes of Heung-min Son, Eric Dier, Djed Spence, and Joe Rodon will all hope to get some minutes under their belt after missing the West Ham game.
Tanguy Ndombele is expected to be fit for the game despite picking up a knock recently, while new boys Manor Solomon and Destiny Udogie will hope to build on impressive debuts.
For Leicester, Harvey Barnes will not feature as he is thought to be close to signing for Newcastle United.
The Spurs Web prediction
Hopefully we see a performance more akin to the second half against West Ham, with lots of chances created and an aggressive, front-foot approach. Leicester have been stripped of their top players this summer and should pose much less of a threat than West Ham. We will go for a 2-1 win to Spurs.
