Pedro Porro has blamed some of Tottenham's fans for sparking his row with Lucas Bergvall after their 2-1 defeat by Fulham on Saturday.
The full-back has explained that their booing towards goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario - who was at fault for Fulham's second goal - incited his 'frustration'.
Porro was blasted for laying into 19-year-old Bergvall, seemingly because he was applauding the supporters, whereas the Spaniard stalked down the tunnel and chose not to acknowledge those in the stands.
'Football is emotions. In football, as in life, there can always be mistakes,' he wrote on Instagram.
'What I will not tolerate is hearing disrespect from the fans to my team-mates, hence my frustration at the end of the game.
'And we will get up. We remind you, six months ago, everything was so bad. In the end, it is not how it begins but how it ends.
'To the true Spurs fans, I love you.'
Vicario was persistently booed after giving the ball away for Harry Wilson's goal and Thomas Frank strongly criticised that vocal section of the crowd after the game.
He labelled the reaction to Vicario 'completely unacceptable' and said they 'can't be true Tottenham fans that do that'.
People were taking out their frustrations after finding the team 2-0 down after six minutes due to Kenny Tete and Wilson's goals.
Mohammed Kudus did claw one back but it was not enough to prevent them slipping to a fourth home defeat in the Premier League this season.
Only Wolves have a worse record at home this campaign.
Porro was roundly criticised by Spurs fans for his antics towards Bergvall in the aftermath.
One fan wrote on X: 'You people do not know how absolutely tired I am of Pedro Porro. And his antics at full time, not clapping the fans, ignoring the manager, but coming out to shout at Bergvall? Disgusting.'
Another said: 'Bergvall [is] a young kid who puts in more effort than experienced pros and has the decency to thank the fans and he’s got Porro digging him out. Coward.'
One commented: 'Porro shouting at Bergvall, who have everything and is applauding the fans… Wow. Bin.'
One said: 'It looks like there's a massive disconnect between the players and the fans. Very strange behaviour from Porro to call Bergvall to come down the tunnel, who was clapping the fans.'
Another said: 'Porro’s performance was atrocious. i heard recently that he even yelled at Bergvall for applauding the fans or something like that… he def needs a reality check.'
