Overview
- Chelsea won 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium through a first-half Joao Pedro goal, with Spurs mustering one shot on target and a record-low 0.05 xG as their league home record slid to one win in five.
- Post-match video showed Djed Spence and captain Micky van de Ven walking past manager Thomas Frank without taking his hand.
- Tottenham supporters reacted angrily on social media, with many calling for Spence to be dropped or sold after the incident.
- Rooney said on The Wayne Rooney Show that the players likely declined to acknowledge the manager because they were frustrated by the home crowd’s boos.
- Reporting indicates the club is weighing internal conversations and potential selection consequences, and separate footage showed Pedro Neto taunting Spurs fans after his substitution.
