Fans spotted what Harry Kane did before Bayern Munich lifted the Visit Malta Cup after beating Tottenham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The second friendly between the two sides took place in north London, after spurs lost 2-1 to the German giants in Seoul last Saturday.
This time around, ange side tasted defeat again, with first half goals from Dayot Upamecano, Serge Gnabry and Thomas Muller proving to be the difference for the visitors.
Bayern were able to lift silverware at the end of the match, with the Visit Malta Cup named after the presenting partner of the fixture.
Kane came off the bench as captain in the second half of the fixture, for what was his first appearance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since leaving Spurs to join Bayern last summer.
And while the Englishman didn’t get on the scoresheet, he was afforded the opportunity to lift a trophy at his former home ground as captain.
But Kane declined to do so, handing the armband to team-mate Joshua Kimmich instead.
And Spurs fans praised their club record goalscorer for his gesture, which you can see below.
A second said: “Saw that. He’s genuinely a really good bloke and I’m proud he’s one of our own.”
A third added: “Big respect to him, he knows it’s wrong at our ground plus he knows what he will get on social media for lifting a friendly trophy.”
A fourth wrote: “Silly as it may seem to some – class act right there.”
A fifth mused: “Fair play, even as an Arsenal fan rate that. What a gesture.”
Tottenham kick off their Premier League campaign on Monday, August 19 when they take on newly-promoted Leicester at the King Power Stadium.
The defeat was Spurs’ first loss of pre-season, with Ange Postecoglou’s side coming out victorious in all four of their previous friendlies against, Hearts, QPR, Vissel Kobe, and K-League Allstars.
However, despite the results Spurs fans had already become slightly nervous about their defensive capabilities as they conceded seven goals across the four games.
Bayern took an early lead as Gabriel Vidovic fired past Guglielmo Vicario, and Vincent Kompany’s side doubled their lead through Leon Goretzka in the second half.
Postecoglou’s men managed to grab a late consolation through Pedro Porro, but it wasn’t enough to stop Spurs fans making all the same complaint.
