Fans have brutally mocked Ange Postecoglou after his Nottingham Forest side threw away a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 at Championship outfit Swansea City. The Welsh side fought back to qualify for the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, with two goals in injury time condemning the Australian to his second successive defeat in the club's dugout.

  Forest beaten again

  In Postecoglou's second game in charge of the club after he was parachuted in to replace the sacked Nuno Espirito Santo, Forest were beaten by lower-league opposition in the Carabao Cup. Having taken a 2-0 lead against Swansea, thanks to an Igor Jesus brace, the Welsh side staged a remarkable fight-back; fellow Australian Cameron Burgess scored in the 68th minute, before Zan Vipotnik equalised in the 93rd. And then, amazingly, on 97 minutes, Burgess completed his brace to send Swansea through.

  Fans brutally mock Ange

  Supporters immediately took to social media to take aim at Postecoglou. 

  @AlfieHouseEcho said: "I'm a big fan of Ange but when in football does making a decision like this ever work? Early days obviously but Nuno must be laughing his head off."

  @JacobHorsfall_ joked: "You can take the Ange out the spurs, but you can’t take the Spurs out the Ange."

  @SaintsNewsfeed said: "I’ll say it again how is Ange back in the Premiership ? Worst manager I’ve ever seen."

  @Footballtripper said: "2-0 up and lose at Swansea, Ange ball in full flight. Disaster written all over it for Forest.This will not end well."

  @BigAngeEra issued a more measured take, writing: "Nah I actually feel for Ange, I know it's at Forest but I can't help but want him to succeed so this is just kind of sad to see icl."

• Postecoglou set to struggle?

  Postecoglou endured a terrible domestic season last term, as Spurs finished 17th. They did also win the Europa League, of course, but the jury is out after the ex-Celtic boss replaced Nuno, the manager who guided the club to a seventh-placed finish last season.
