What Son Heung-min was spotted doing to his Tottenham teammates immediately after losing to Bournemouth.
Things are going from bad to worse for Tottenham Hotspur as they suffered a damaging 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Dean Huijsen scored the solitary goal of the game in the first half to propel the Cherries to ninth in the table, one point above Ange Postecoglou’s side.
It was another underwhelming performance from the Lilywhites, who are now winless in their last three games across all competition after beating Manchester City 4-0.
Postecoglou went over to the traveling Tottenham fans to seemingly reassure them amid a dismal run of form as they find themselves at a bit of a crossroads.
And after the full-time whistle, Son Heung-min wasn’t particularly impressed by what his teammates did as he attempted to put things right.

It’s been a stop-start season for the Tottenham captain as he was plagued by a hamstring injury at the start of the season.
He is back fully fit but things aren’t clicking for him or his teammates currently as they dropped to tenth in the Premier League standings.
After another defeat on their travels, a dejected Tottenham squad were walking off the pitch with their heads down as they failed to acknowledge the fans who made the trip to the south coast.
Son was spotted gesturing to the Tottenham players to go and applaud the fans, as he looked visibly frustrated after a poor showing.
Some of his teammates responded to his gesture as they thanked the traveling party for their support.
Son’s stats this season
Son was fantastic after coming on as a second-half substitute for Tottenham but couldn’t prevent his team from suffering defeat.
He’s scored just four times this season but that is largely down to his niggling injury issues as he’s otherwise been a reliable player over the years.
With his current deal set to expire next summer, Tottenham haven’t offered Son a contract but are likely to trigger the one-year extension clause, keeping him at the club until 2026 at the very least.
