Tottenham fans have been mocked by rival fans for performing a lap of honor before their final home game.
Ange Postecoglou’s side beat Burnley 2-1 on Saturday to relegate the Clarets and keep their faint Champions League hopes alive heading into the final week of the season.
Spurs have two games left to play, with the club traveling to bottom team Sheffield United next week for their final game of the season.
Before that, they will host leaders Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday in a match that has left fans divided in their opinions due to the nature of the title race.
And fans have mocked the club after families were invited to take a walk around the pitch to thank fans for their support, despite the hosts still having another home game left this season.
Tottenham have been mocked by rival fans after performing a lap of honor before the final game of the season.
Tottenham players and their families paraded around the pitch in north London after their victory over Burnley.
That was despite having one home game left to play this season, which will be against Manchester City on Tuesday.
Fans took to social media to ask why the club did not hold the return for Tuesday night.
In a video shared by Tottenham’s social media accounts on Saturday, the likes of Postecoglou and captain Son Heung-min could be seen on the pitch in north London greeting fans and offering their thanks.
The Australian could be seen patting his chest to mark the end of what has been widely regarded as a successful first season in charge that will see them at least qualify for the Conference League.
However, the end of the Spurs season is somewhat complicated, since the game against City has a direct impact on the title race. The defending champions need to win their final two games to guarantee their fourth Premier League title, with the first of two games being against Tottenham.
If Spurs can stop City, the title will be in Arsenal’s hands, with Spurs’ arch-rivals just one point behind Pep Guardiola’s side with two games left to play.
“Don’t you have Manchester City at home on Tuesday?” a fan posted on X, formerly Twitter. ‘What are you doing? Save this lap of honor for Tuesday, when you defeat City.”
Another wrote: “Sksksks this is the man Arsenal are asking for,” accompanied by two crying emojis.
A third added: “No, this is next level hate towards Arsenal.” The Spurs have another home game on Tuesday, but have decided to do their end-of-season lap of honor today.
One fan appeared to theorize that the club was making the return due to “hatred of Arsenal.”
Brennan Johnson was one of the players who was on the field the entire time to celebrate the season.
James Maddison was hailed by fans as he marked the end of his debut campaign.
Richarlison, for his part, who missed the game due to injury, posed for photographs with fans.
