Tottenham star Pedro Porro has been blasted by some fans for laying into young Lucas Bergvall and ignoring the supporters after their 2-1 defeat by Fulham on Saturday night.
It's the sort of passion which might have earned him plaudits from some quarters but home fans weren't happy to see the full-back venting at the 19-year-old.
Spurs were lacklustre, conceding twice in the opening six minutes to lose to their struggling London rivals, and were booed at the end.
Thomas Frank is coming under increasing scrutiny after one win in the last seven games across all competitions.
And clearly the heat is getting to Porro, who gestured and vented at Bergvall before storming away. He quickly headed down the tunnel, removing his shirt and not applauding the fans. It is unclear why he was angry at Bergvall, but some have suggested it was because he was clapping the supporters, a stance Porro was unwilling to take perhaps because of the booing.
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.'

Porro stormed away from his team-mates down the tunnel and did not clap the fans
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.'
Goals from Fulham's Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson inside the first six minutes saw Tottenham get off to a dreadful start.
Vicario was at fault for the second, giving the ball away after running out wide with it, though he was under pressure and didn't receive much help from his team-mates.
When Vicario next got on the ball, a portion of the home supporters booed him, while there were also jeers at full time.
Manager Frank called the response to Vicario 'completely unacceptable' and said they 'can't be true Tottenham fans that do that'.
Tottenham's dismal home form continued - they have the second-worst record in the league
Porro may have been vexed at how fans booed Guglielmo Vicario after his early mistake
Spurs' dismal home form continues. They've won one, drawn two, and lost four at home this season, the second-worst record in the league. They've now lost 10 home league games in 2025, a joint record with 1993 and 2004.
Here they were undone by a team who had only collected one point on the road all season coming into the match.
'Definitely conceding two goals in six minutes gives us a mountain to climb. I think it is the classic (thing that) when you are in a bad spell or a tough spell, things go against you,' Frank said.
'First one is a deflected shot and the second one is a mistake from Vicario. It happens.
'I didn’t like how the fans reacted to that. They booed at him straight after and also three or four times when he was on the ball. For me that is absolutely unacceptable. They can’t be true Tottenham fans.
'Booing after [the match], fair. No problem. But when we are playing we need to be together. If we turn it around, we need to do it together. That is hugely important for me.'
