‘Disrespect’ – Pedro Porro sends message to Tottenham fans after fury vs Fulham
Pedro Porro has hit back at Tottenham fans after he was criticised for his post-match reaction following defeat to Fulham.
Tottenham were beaten 2-1 by Fulham on Saturday, with Mohamed Kudus’ second-half goal proving nothing more than a consolation after strikes from Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson.
Porro refused to clap the supporters at the full-time whistle, instead storming straight down the tunnel and into the dressing room.
The full-back was even visibly upset with his teammates, who chose to acknowledge the fans, shouting at Lucas Bergvall and urging him to leave the pitch.
Pedro Porro speaks out after Tottenham defeat
Porro has been slammed for some of his Tottenham performances so far this season, and the full-back was once abject against Fulham.
MORE SPURS STORIES
However, his antics after the game have really angered Spurs fans, who feel that the 26-year-old was not only disrespectful to supporters but also to his teammates.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Porro hit back at the criticism he received following the defeat to Fulham, explaining why he was unhappy.
The Spaniard posted a photo of himself leaving the pitch on his story, with the caption: “Football is emotions. In football, as in life, there can always be mistakes.
“What I will not tolerate is hearing disrespect from the fan to my teammates, hence my frustration at the end of the game.
“And we will get up, we remind you six months ago everything was so bad, and in the end it is not how it begins, but how it ends. To the true Spurs fans, I love you.”
Tottenham fans show frustration after Fulham loss
Porro may be referring to Guglielmo Vicario, who was booed by Tottenham fans after making a massive mistake which led to Fulham’s second goal.
The Italian goalkeeper raced out of his own box to clear the ball, but immediately gave possession back to the visitors, with Wilson taking advantage of the empty net.
Spurs fans immediately vented their frustration, booing Vicario every time he touched the ball.
Like Porro, Frank defended his goalkeeper after the game, as well as criticising the supporters who had chosen to hurl abuse at the shot-stopper.
There is no doubt that the situation in North London is turning ugly, and with the fans turning against both the players and the manager, Frank’s position is becoming increasingly unstable.
