Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of qualifying for the Europa League were boosted substantially this afternoon after they thrashed Leicester City 3-0 in north London but some supporters weren’t happy with their midfielder, Giovani Lo Celso.
Jose Mourinho can thank Heung-min Son and Harry Kane for their quickfire goals in the first half, the latter netting himself a brace in classic fashion.
Spurs move up into sixth place and could solidify those European claims if Wolves fail to beat Palace on Monday evening.
Though many were unimpressed with their Argentinian playmaker, calling him everything from being a “flop” to “overrated”.
Per SofaScore, Lo Celso lost possession 16 times, committed three fouls and only made 16 accurate passes during the 77 minutes he was on the pitch.
There were even some shouts asking Mourinho to drop the 24-year-old whilst he was also blasted as “trash” and “pathetic”.
Since joining the club permanently in January, the £36m-rated star has only provided one assist in the Premier League from 27 appearances, via WhoScored – it’s simply not good enough.
Here’s the best of the reaction…

Another stinky performance from Lo Celso

Might be an unpopular opinion but I would rather we had bought Bruno Fernandes than lo celso.

Lo Celso has been painful to watch. Constantly losing possession.
