Tottenham fans have been left raging at Cristian Romero after his role in the winning goal for Newcastle at St James' Park.

Ange Postecoglou's men fell to a frustrating 2-1 defeat despite a dominant second-half performance as they failed to make their opportunities count.

The spotlight following Alexander Isak's winner was fixed on the Argentina defender as he made little attempt to get back after the striker was played through.

A screenshot taken during the game displayed just how far away from the eventual goal the defender was after his lazy attempt to track back.

Romero has been heavily criticised for his role in the goals Spurs have conceded so far this season, with the pressure on his position continuing to grow.

Fans exploded following his latest mishap, with many questioning how long he can continue alongside Micky van de Ven in Postecoglou's back line.

Tottenham fans left raging at 'pathetic' Cristian Romero after Newcastle United loss

Questions over Romero's temperament since his arrival at Spurs have been a regular fixture, but fans have often used his impressive defensive displays to cover for his errors.

Now, however, his defensive performances have also begun to wane and the supporters are not happy with how he has been performing.

Following Newcastle's winning goal at St James' Park, fans flocked to social media in anger at Romero as he was labelled "absolutely dreadful" and "pathetic".

Romero should be hauled off the pitch for that. Initiates a shocking offside trap and then walks back instead of busting a gut to get back #NEWTOT
