Spurs news: Pedro Porro screams at Lucas Bergvall and storms off pitch after Tottenham suffer home loss

Pedro Porro cut a frustrated figure as Tottenham’s poor run of form continued against Fulham.

Spurs went into Saturday’s London derby on the back of successive defeats in the past week to Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, conceding nine goals in the process.

Tottenham found themselves behind after just four minutes against their London rivals when Kenny Tete’s effort deflected in off Destiny Udogie at the near post.

Things went from bad to worse for Tottenham two minutes later when Guglielmo Vicario rushed off his line and made a complete mess of a clearance which resulted in Harry Wilson, spectacularly, doubling Fulham’s lead.

Spurs, who were booed off by their own supporters at half time, did improve in the second half and were able to reduce the deficit thanks to a stunning strike from Mohammed Kudus shortly before the hour mark.

However, there was to be no late drama in north London on the pitch - instead it was saved for after the full-time whistle.

Porro appeared to be angered by Lucas Bergvall applauding the Spurs supporters at full-time.

Sky Sports’ cameras picked up the right-back screaming ‘Lucas’ several times as the 19-year-old started to walk around the pitch and show his appreciation to the home supporters that had stayed behind.

Porro then stormed down the tunnel, presumably frustrated that he and his team-mates could not find an equaliser to prevent a third straight defeat across two competitions.

Thomas Frank was asked about the incident afterwards and told Sky Sports: "I didn't see the incident so I don't know exactly.

“We are in a tough spell right now and for my players it is about being as calm as possible and doing everything we can to work through it."

Tottenham are back in action on Tuesday night as they face Newcastle at St James’ Park before hosting Frank’s former club Brentford next weekend.
