After Tottenham’s 5-0 defeat to Liverpool, Cameroonian footballer Benoit Assou-Ekotto posted a photo on social media with his friend Emmanuel Adebayor, both smiling. This provoked mixed reactions, with some supporters expressing anger at the players seemingly taking the loss lightly. Assou-Ekotto had gone on loan to Queen Park Rangers, while Adebayor, still at Tottenham, wasn’t playing much at the time. The photo sparked criticism from fans who felt it was inappropriate considering the team’s poor performance.
