MICKY VAN DE VEN appeared to offer out a Tottenham fan as Joao Palhinha and Pedro Porro were also pulled away from the away end after a late defeat to Bournemouth.
Thomas Frank’s side slipped to another loss in a five-goal thriller on the south coast.
Antoine Semenyo gave Bournemouth a fine leaving present before his £65million Man City move with a last-gasp wonder strike for a 3-2 win.
It saw travelling Spurs fans erupt in fury as the full-time whistle went.
But Van de Ven looked to inflame the situation further as he got involved in a tense confrontation.
The Dutchman waved his arms angrily at the Tottenham supporters and even appeared to ‘offer out’ one fan.
He was eventually dragged away by Spurs staff, but teammate Porro then got involved in another heated encounter.
Afterwards, Palhinha, who had earlier scored a stunning overhead kick, went over to the visiting supporters.
It saw the midfielder, on loan from Bayern Munich, climb over the hoardings before engaging with the angry Tottenham faithful.
Stewards made sure to intervene by keeping a small gap between Palhinha and the fans.

And each party appeared to say their peace before the player walked back onto the pitch before departing down the tunnel.
Speaking later on, Palhinha revealed what he said to the fans.
The Portugal ace declared: “It was just the supporters were sharing their frustrations.
“We of course understand, we respect them first of all. I just said we are fighting for all the same.
“We want to win, not just the players – the staff and the supporters.
“We are trying to get the wins that, in my opinion, we deserve in the last games.”
Frank, meanwhile, refused to be drawn on the topic.
The Spurs boss: “I haven’t seen that situation, that’s one thing. I think it’s fair to say everyone involved in Tottenham, players, staff, fans, everyone is a tough one to take today.
“I think hopefully everyone can see how hard we worked to get everything in the right direction.
“And I think overall the performance was good, especially in the second half, in a game where we deserved to get more.
“That is extremely painful to be part of, so of course people are frustrated, I’m frustrated, so that’s natural.”
Tottenham’s eighth defeat of the season started with them taking a fifth minute lead through Mathys Tel.
Bournemouth then went ahead thanks to goals from Evanilson and Eli Junior Kroupi.
But Palhinha levelled with 12 minutes left after leaping high to score a bicycle kick.
However, the Cherries had the final say when Semenyo netted a wonder goal in the fifth minute of added time to win the match.
