Most Tottenham fans were absolutely delighted with an impressive 2-0 victory over Premier League title favourites Manchester City on Sunday, but Erik Lamela's role in the win came at a cost to one Spurs supporter.
Dele Alli added to an Aleksandar Kolarov own goal to put Spurs firmly in control by half-time at White Hart Lane, and Lamela had the chance to make it 3-0 from the penalty spot after Fernandinho had fouled Alli with 20 minutes to go.
Lamela won an argument with Heung-min Son about who would take the penalty, but the Argentine playmaker the proceeded to hit a weak effort which was well parried by City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.
The miss could have proved costly had Hugo Lloris not tipped a late Sergio Aguero effort onto the post to prevent a fightback, but Spurs fan Mark Pawley (@tuckers35) took to Twitter to demand repayment from Lamela for missing out on a bet.
Pawley tweeted a photo of his bet365 account, showing he had put a £1.50 stake on Alli to score and Spurs to win 3-0.
With the fan missing out on a potential return of £84, Lamela bore the brunt of the supporters' ire despite the player tweeting about the "unbelievable atmosphere" at White Hart Lane.
Regarding Lamela's on-pitch argument with Son over the penalty, Mauricio Pochettino said: "It happens in all teams. Everyone can miss a penalty. We will analyse, but it is not a big issue.
"The collective performance was strong. It is too early to take this into the table yet. We are still creating out philosophy."
