Djed Spence Called 'Disrespectful' for Post After First England Start

Djed Spence has been criticised for what he posted on social media following his first England start against Wales.

Spence, who made his England debut against Serbia last month, was handed a spot from the start at full-back in Thomas Tuchel's XI against Wales on Thursday.

The Three Lions recorded a comfortable victory at Wembley Stadium, beating Craig Bellamy's side 3-0 - with Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Bukayo Saka all getting on the score-sheet.

Wales weren't at the races and couldn't get going on an attacking front, with England's backline keeping the likes of Kieffer Moore, David Brooks and Harry Wilson quiet.

Not to mention Brennan Johnson, who came up against Tottenham teammate Spence.

But Johnson failed to get the better of the 25-year-old, who won their on-field battle.

And Spence made sure his club colleague knew about his victory in their duel, bragging about it on social media with a ruthless dig.

He shared a meme of himself making Johnson his 'dog', accompanied with the caption: "Very Happy to get my first England star with a Great Win.

"But forget about all the emotional stuff for a second .. YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE... LETS TAKE A WALK TO THE PENITENTIARY BROTHER."

Spence's post, however, didn't go down well among some Spurs fans online as they called out his 'disrespectful' post.

One X user wrote: "No doubt the Johnson haters will think it’s hilarious but frankly it just seems like a great way to create disharmony in the squad. Disrespectful as being late to training which Bissouma got benched for."

A second said: "Disrespectful to his teammate. Not cool," while a third added: "If BJ finds it funny, ok. If not then really out of order."

A fourth argued: "How are people getting annoyed over this??"

The defender appears to have posted it in jest, but not everyone sees the funny side to the meme.

Spence and Johnson will return to being Spurs teammates once this month's international break is over, with Spurs hosting Aston Villa on October 19.
