Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham's returning squad depth has given them a boost and praised his players for embracing a "reset".

A 4-1 away victory over Ipswich Town on Saturday means Spurs have recorded three straight Premier League wins for the first time since December 2023.

Brennan Johnson scored two goals, both set up by Son Heung-min, with Djed Spence and Dejan Kulusevski also on target at Portman Road.

Postecoglou's side are enjoying a welcome upturn in fortunes, which has been inspired by the return of several players from injury.

"The fact that we can throw people on from the bench who can contribute means everyone gets a boost," said the Spurs boss.

"From our perspective, these last two weeks have given us a breather and reset our football. I'm pleased the boys have embraced it."

Despite a convincing scoreline, the outcome of the match remained in doubt until Spence scored Spurs' third goal 13 minutes from time, with Kulusevski later adding a fine fourth.

Postecoglou added: "Ipswich are one of the hardest-working teams in the league. You know you're going up against a battle and a contest - we had to do that.

"First half, we could have done better. We allowed them some moments. But in the second half, we dug in. That allowed us to execute and play our football.

"When you come to a place like this, the crowd creates some energy, so we had to weather that storm. 

"But we were always a threat. Sonny [Son] was unplayable in that first half and it's so great to get Brennan back; he scores so many goals for us in those areas."

Johnson's brace came on familiar territory, with father David having played for the Tractor Boys between 1997 and 2001, helping the club gain promotion to the Premier League during his spell.

Spurs remain down in 12th place but Johnson is confident in his side's prospects when they have their best players available.

"He [David] had a great time here and he holds the club in high accounts," Wales international Brennan, who now has nine league goals this season, said about his father.

"For me, it was about getting the three points for Tottenham. They beat us last time and that was in our heads because we didn't want to lose. 

"We have always tried to believe. When we have all the players back we have won the last two Premier League games and that's something we wanted to keep in mind. 

"We played good football, but also defended well. It's Tottenham Hotspur - we want to be as high as we can. We want to get right up the league."

Meanwhile, it was a seventh defeat in eight home league games for Ipswich, who are now five points adrift of safety in 18th place after relegation rivals Wolves' shock win at Bournemouth.

Kieran McKenna felt there were plenty of positives from his side's performance, but conceded time is running out in the battle against the drop.

"We created more than enough chances, but we have to keep working," the Ipswich boss told BBC Match of the Day. 

"We know the group is working well in many aspects. To win, we have to improve. There are still improvements in the group.

"There is no doubt they're on a good track, but we're into February and the games start to tick along. We need to pick up points."

Spurs are back in action at home to Manchester City on Wednesday, which is when Ipswich travel to play Manchester United at Old Trafford.
