Tottenham fans explode at ‘abysmal’ Romero after what happened v Newcastle
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.

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.
