Spurs fans who jeered keeper Vicario were informed later "those individuals cannot be real Tottenham fans" by boss Thomas Frank.

Spurs conceded two scores in the opening six minutes to fall 2-1 to their opponents, registering their tenth Premier League at home loss of the year.

However the main topic of discussion was the visitors' next goal when Vicario lost possession well beyond his area.

The goalkeeper ventured out to handle a high pass and carried the ball near the sideline.

However, instead of booting it into touch, the Italy international spun and tried to clear away, but slipped as the ball skimmed off Wilson and was controlled by Josh King.

The forward laid the ball off to Welsh midfield player Wilson, who curled a strike into the goal from the touchline recorded at 36.6 yards.

Moments afterwards when the ball went to the keeper once more, some Tottenham fans booed him.

The team were jeered off at half-time, with the side 2-0 down, and again at the final whistle.

One of those jeering sessions truly irritated the manager.

"It came to my attention some of our supporters reportedly jeered the incident and jeered following, which, in my view is totally unacceptable," the Danish manager stated regarding the fans' response to his shot-stopper.

"[They] cannot be real Spurs supporters that do that. Fair enough booing after the game, fine, but when we are playing, we are backing one another, we are behind one another moving ahead."

Kenny Tete had handed the visitors a early advantage prior to Wilson's strike – with Mohammed Kudus netting for Tottenham in an improved second-half showing.

Former Premier League keeper Joe Hart stated that the second score was "completely preventable".

"I certainly understand the supporters' frustration," the ex-keeper added. "I know the part the keeper is performing. He's a great squad member, he is a true leader in the locker room but ultimately you are going to be assessed by your decisions.

"He was heavily involved in what ended up to be the winning score."

'It is Part of Football, I'm a Big Man'

Italian national team the keeper is in his third season with Tottenham.

The 29-year-old said after the match that he had to take the criticism.

"The second score was a mistake of mine, I take responsibility for it," he said.

"The intent was to kick the ball far and I simply struck the ball in a bad manner. That made an more difficult mountain to overcome."

He stated receiving jeers "is part of the game".

"I'm a big man, what can I say?" he continued. "We cannot be affected by the circumstances in the crowd. The fans have the right to do as they see fit.

"It is on the team to remain more calm, to focus on ourselves. We are lacking in calmness and calmness to reverse outcomes. Today is a bad loss and it is tough to take."

'I Was Surprised No One Returned to the Goal Line'

In spite of Vicario's mistake, it was not an simple score for Wilson to score.

In fact it was the second longest-range Premier League score of the campaign – following Tyler Adams' 43.3 yard strike for the Cherries against the Black Cats, which interestingly also came on the same day.

Wilson stated he was "a little bit taken aback" that he still had an empty net to target.

Ten moments elapsed between Vicario exiting of his area and the midfielder shooting – which was 5 seconds following the clearance.

"I felt like the keeper was out of the box for ages," Wilson remarked.

"I was surprised none of the back four went back to the line. When not one of them defended the net, my interest sparked a bit.

"Udogie fell too, which allowed me a little additional time. After that it was solely about trying to achieve the right connection and place it on target. I felt a good sense, the moment it left my foot, that it was heading in."

'During in a Poor Run, Everything Appears to Work Against You'

While Vicario's error dominated headlines, this was an overall poor performance for Tottenham to continue their home ground woes.

The match was their tenth home loss of the year in the league, a shared club record along with 1994 and 2003.

They still have home fixtures against the manager's old side the Bees and champions Liverpool to come prior to the close of the season.

Just a single of those wins have come after the manager replaced Ange Postecoglou in the off-season.

"When you're down 2-0 following the opening, there is a mountain to climb," stated the boss.

"When you're in a poor run, all aspects appears to go against you too – the first was a redirected attempt, the next is a error from Vic.

"This result puts us in a position where we have lost an additional match. Every game has a single story, this game we were defeated in the first six minutes.

"We just need to continue striving. The later period was much better and with luck an aspect we can use to learn."

Tottenham have lost 4 straight at home capital clashes for the first time in the Premier League.

Furthermore they are averaging 9.5 shots and 3.2 efforts on goal per game in the Premier League – their poorest rates on file in a one season (dating back to 2003-04).

Ex- Cottagers midfield player Murphy commented that the manager has to endure the criticism.

"He's got take the stick," Murphy remarked. "He has taken a high profile role at a major football club with enormous expectation. There is pressure and responsibility that accompanies that.

"Their showings at their stadium have been disappointing and they have to get better {quickly|
