Tottenham fans react to Nuno claim after West Ham defeat

A number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to react to comments from Nuno Espirito Santo in the wake of their defeat to West Ham – with many left baffled by their boss.

Unfortunately for Nuno, his claim that Spurs were better has not gone down at all well amongst some of their fans on social media.

Many simply cannot agree with how the Portuguese saw the game. And for some, it is further proof that he is not right for the job.
