Tottenham Hotspur star Cristian Romero has reportedly deleted a post criticizing a decision in the loss to Arsenal
Spurs host local rivals Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday as they look to offload the Premier League title fee to the Gunners
However, Mikel Arteta’s side were in good form, leading 3-0 at half-time thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz, as well as an own goal from Pierre-Emile Hojberg
In the second half, Spurs fought back as Romero and Son Heung Min scored, but the Gunners held on for a 3-2 victory
After the match, Romero expressed disappointment with Micky Van de Ven’s disallowed goal in the first half
Pedro Porro’s long-range shot deflects off the Dutch defender’s path but VAR ultimately rejects the goal for offside
Reacting on social media, one fan wrote: “Am I crazy to think van de Ven was involved in this
Tomiyasu kicked the ball away from the goal and hit Gabriel, who deflected the ball towards the scorer
2 contacts from opposing players and we’re still worried about the original ball
Romero replied: “West Ham scored the same goal against us at home
” However, Romero later deleted his answer
Speaking after the match, Spurs coach Ange Postecoglou was asked about the disallowed goal
He said: “Games are no longer refereed at the stadium
I don’t celebrate goals anymore
“You have to wait for someone on the street
Unfortunately, I don’t like it but I have to accept it
Postecoglou continued: “It was a great day for the club and our supporters, and we didn’t get the result we wanted, so obviously very disappointing
“Today we lacked concentration in important moments, especially in the first half
Sometimes you have to feel the pain to learn this lesson well
