Cristian Romero struck a dramatic late equaliser for Tottenham, only to be substituted moments later after an ill-judged celebration that saw him kick an advertising board.<\/p>\n
The Spurs captain salvaged a point in Saturday\u2019s thrilling 2-2 draw away at Burnley, firing home in the 90th minute to crush the Clarets\u2019 hopes of a vital win.<\/p>\n
Chaos followed almost instantly.<\/p>\n
The Argentine sprinted towards the travelling Tottenham supporters in wild celebration, his emotion and intensity on full display as he soaked in the moment.<\/p>\n
But the defender went a step too far.<\/p>\n
In extraordinary scenes, Romero roared with delight before smashing an advertising hoarding with force. The act appeared to backfire immediately, as he spun away clutching himself and shouting in visible discomfort.<\/p>\n
With only minutes remaining, Romero looked to have hurt himself in the process, and concerns were heightened when manager Thomas Frank promptly withdrew his match-winner.<\/p>\n
Supporters quickly took to social media to react to the incident.<\/p>\n
One fan wrote: \u201cThat\u2019s surgery and six months out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another commented: \u201cA never-ending circus.\u201d<\/p>\n
A third said: \u201cThe whole club is a mess.\u201d<\/p>\n
While another added: \u201cWe\u2019re in serious trouble \u2014 relegation battle, 100 per cent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
