‘Utter shambles’ – Unseen footage of Cristian Romero immediately after Wolves defeat infuriates fans

As if Tottenham supporters didn’t need another reason to be furious after Sunday’s defeat against Wolves.

Ange Postecoglou’s side were on the wrong side of a 4-2 scoreline at Molineux and condemned them to an alarming 17th league defeat this season.

Romero had a game to forget as Tottenham slumped to defeat against Wolves

Wolves went ahead in the second minute and never looked back as they registered more shots and shots on target than their north London rivals.

The hosts had a string of individual errors from a number of Tottenham players to thank for most of their goals, including one from World Cup winner – and captain for the day – Cristian Romero.

Romero was at fault for Wolves’ third as he was dispossessed by Rayan Ait-Nouri just outside his own 18-yard box.

The Algerian squared it across goal to Jorgen Strand Larsen, who made no mistake from six yards out.

Romero dropped his head in frustration as Wolves restored their two-goal buffer.

However, it was not Romero’s defensive error that sparked the Tottenham supporters’ fury.

Instead, it came moments after the full-time whistle.

It is customary for players to clap their away supporters following a contest no matter the result.

But instead of thanking the travelling Tottenham faithful, who had made the 132-mile journey to Molineux, Romero headed straight down the tunnel.

What made Romero’s actions worse was the fact he wore the captain’s armband in place of Heung-Min Son, who missed the game with a foot injury.
