Pedro Porro was involved in a heated exchange with Tottenham team-mate Lucas Bergvall following the side's 2-1 home defeat to Fulham in the Premier League. The right-back appeared to confront the 19-year-old after Bergvall applauded the Spurs supporters at full-time, with Porro screaming his name before storming down the tunnel without acknowledging the fans.
Tottenham were booed off the pitch after their fourth league loss in six games, extending their winless home run in the Premier League since the opening day of the season. Some fans directed their frustration at goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after his error led to Fulham's second goal after just six minutes.
Manager Thomas Frank criticised the supporters who booed Vicario during the match, stating, 'They can't be true Tottenham fans because everyone supports each other when you are on the pitch.' He added that while it was acceptable to boo after the game, doing so during play was 'unacceptable' and hoped it would not happen again.
The incident comes weeks after Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence ignored Frank's instructions to applaud the fans following a home defeat to Chelsea, later apologising. Frank said he did not see Porro's reaction but stressed the importance of staying calm during a difficult spell.
Tottenham have now lost 10 league matches at home in the current calendar year under Frank and former manager Ange Postecoglou, with their last home league victory coming against newly promoted Burnley in August.
