First Brennan Johnson, now Pedro Porro! Tottenham defender deactivates social media account after backlash from Spurs fans following post after Chelsea defeat

Premier League

Southampton

Tottenham

<p>After Spurs' <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-player-ratings-vs-tottenham-cole-palmer-title-race/blt013b7972dcf39b86" target="_blank">4-3 defeat to Chelsea</a> on Sunday, the Spaniard reshared a statistic posted on X by stats account Squawka which stated: "Pedro Porro is the only defender to be directly involved in 20+ Premier League goals since he made his debut in the competition in February 2023." Spurs fans piled on to the pro after this because he posted nothing about the damning defeat. In response, Porro deactivated his X account.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Pedro Porro shares this post about his goal contributions —&gt; supporters express their displeasure over the fact that he did so without first acknowledging the poor result yesterday —&gt; Porro deactivates his ‘X’ account <br><br>Tensions are high around Tottenham Hotspur. <a href="https://t.co/vtdFG1BsJr">pic.twitter.com/vtdFG1BsJr</a></p>— The Spurs Express (@TheSpursExpress) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheSpursExpress/status/1866152847844491341?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 9, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Porro has consistently shown quality since arriving at Spurs, and played a key role in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pedro-porro-mario-kart-champion-tottenham-james-maddison-dominic-solanke-brennan-johnson-man-city-thrashing/blt292d764f2276a585" target="_blank">their phenomenal 4-0 victory over Man City</a> last month, but that hasn't stopped him from receiving criticism from some Tottenham fans. The latest backlash came after his self-aggrandising tweet, and it was enough to push him off social media altogether.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>When Porro's team-mate Johnson <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/punch-on-the-nose-ange-postecoglou-defence-brennan-johnson-tottenham-instagram-abuse-fans/blt964914b4b9414545" target="_blank">decided to leave Instagram</a> in September after receiving nasty abuse that was called out by manager Ange Postecoglou, it led to a serious uptick in form for the Wales international. Johnson scored six goals in six games after deleting Insta and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-cm/lists/brennan-johnson-reveals-how-tottenham-captain-son-heung-min-influenced-his-career/blt49bc1e89f8b08385" target="_blank">has been heaped with praise ever since</a>. Porro will be hoping the same thing happens to him.</p><p><strong></strong></p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Spurs suffered a heartbreaking Premier League defeat against Chelsea after squandering a 2-0 lead on Sunday, but they do at least have an opportunity to make things right in midweek with an important <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/match/rangers-vs-tottenham/T3Jy0mpaLlQr1wPpAz_MF" target="_blank">Europa League clash against Rangers</a> at Ibrox. Johnson already has three goals in the competition this season and will be looking to add to that tally against their Scottish opponents.</p>
