Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven was involved in an argument with the club's supporters following their defeat to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Tuesday night
Micky van de Ven found himself embroiled in a heated exchange with Tottenham supporters following their dramatic defeat at Bournemouth. The Spurs centre-back was momentarily caught on Sky Sports cameras in a heated discussion with fans in the away section just after the final whistle.
Tottenham appeared destined for a draw after Joao Palhinha's late leveller, only for Antoine Semenyo to net the decisive goal during added time.
With tempers flaring, Van de Ven needed to be pulled away from a confrontation with some of the travelling Spurs supporters.
In a two-minute footage of the post-match scenes, Van de Ven, Pedro Porro and Palhinha are all seen interacting with the crowd.
Porro and Palhinha seemed to be attempting to calm the situation down, although Porro was subsequently held back by Guglielmo Vicario before walking away.
Van de Ven had received a yellow card earlier in the encounter for his complaints to the official after a penalty he had won was reversed following a VAR check. Spurs showed marked improvement in attack but still struggled defensively.
Thomas Frank addressed several matters in his post-match press conference, including his thoughts on the players' confrontations with supporters.
He said: "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."
Frank was also forced to respond after he was photographed drinking from an Arsenal cup, which had been left at the Vitality Stadium following the Gunners' 3-2 victory over the weekend.
When quizzed about the incident, the Spurs boss responded: "Definitely not noticed it. I think it's fair to say that we're not winning every single football match so it would be absolutely, completely stupid of me to take a cup with Arsenal. Is there anyone thinking I've done that? All the staff has done it.
"They've been in the changing room, the game before us. Its normal to take a cup, give me an espresso, I do that before every game. I think actually it's a little bit sad in football that I need to be asked a question about that.
"I think we're definitely going in the wrong direction if we need to worry about me having a cup with another logo of another club, of course I'll never do that. That's extremely stupid."
