Tottenham defender Cristian Romero leapt to the defence of two Spurs stars in the wake of Sunday's 4-2 thrashing by Liverpool at Anfield.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou was critical of his side's performance afterwards as they slumped to a fourth consecutive Premier League defeat that dashed their chances of Champions League qualification.

Romero found himself being publicly defended by Postecoglou after clashing on the pitch with team-mate Emerson Royal during the defeat against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool and has now issued his own vow of support for two other colleagues.

Optimism surrounding Tottenham's end-of-season run-in has been extinguished after suffering heavy defeats against London rivals, Arsenal and Chelsea before travelling to the North West, with Postecoglou at times unable to hide his fury.

The Australian has taken responsibility for poor performances but has also issued no-nonsense warnings to underperforming players, with some unhappy with criticism after the agent of defender Radu Dragusin mocked the Spurs boss.
