Son Heung-min is a disgrace of a captain - Tottenham fans slam star after Arsenal defeat
North London derby defeat leaves Tottenham fans fuming after Son's interview
Tottenham Hotspur fans have slammed Son Heung-min on social media, labelling him a "disgrace of a captain" and the "worst captain we've ever had" following their North London derby defeat to Arsenal.
Son was handed the captain's armband for the clash at the Emirates Stadium, but he failed to inspire his team to victory as they were beaten 3-1 by their bitter rivals.
After the match, Son gave an interview in which he said that Tottenham were "the better team" and that Arsenal "didn't deserve to win".
His comments have not gone down well with Tottenham fans, who have taken to social media to express their anger at the South Korean forward.
"Son is a disgrace of a captain," one fan wrote on Twitter. "He should never be allowed to wear the armband again."
"He's the worst captain we've ever had," another fan added. "He's deluded if he thinks we were the better team today."
"He needs to take a long, hard look at himself and apologize to the fans," a third fan said.
Tottenham's defeat to Arsenal leaves them eighth in the Premier League table, five points behind their rivals.
It was a disappointing performance from Spurs, who were outplayed by Arsenal for large periods of the match.
Son's comments after the match are likely to further anger Tottenham fans, who are already frustrated by their team's poor form.
It remains to be seen whether Son will keep the captain's armband for Tottenham's next match, which is against Manchester United on Wednesday.
