Tottenham Hotspur players have been slammed after they were seen swapping shirts with Newcastle United players on the back of their dismal 6-1 defeat in the Premier League.
On Sunday afternoon, Newcastle put Spurs to the sword as they went 5-0 up inside 21 minutes at St. James’ Park.
Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy both scored a brace whilst Brazilian Joelinton was also on the score sheet.
In the second half, Harry Kane pulled one back before Callum Wilson sealed the 6-1 victory.

After the final whistle sounded, Spurs players were spotted swapping shirts with Newcastle players.
Richarlison was chatting to former Everton teammate Anthony Gordon whilst Ivan Perisic was seen with Murphy.
Former Spurs player Jamie O’Hara was left furious after being told about it by talkSPORT presenter Laura Woods.
He said: “Why would you want to swap shirt in a game where you have been completely embarrassed?
“That for me just sums up modern day football players at the moment. Do you think Roy Keane or Steven Gerrard would want to swap shirts after a massive game when you just got pumped, are you joking?
“Can you imagine Ally McCoist asking for a shirt after a massive Old Firm match, ‘I want to swap shirts in the tunnel.’”
O’Hara continued: “These footballers, I don’t know what they have turned into, but they ain’t proper footballers.
“If you’re asking for a shirt after you have just been beaten 6-1, get out of my football club!
“You should be taking all your shirts and boots from the kit man, and your boots, and your wages, and standing outside the training ground giving them to the fans, who have driven up to Newcastle to watch that rubbish.”
After the bitterly disappointing result, it has been reported that Spurs are now discussing the future of caretaker manager Cristian Stellini.
Spurs are back in Premier League action on Thursday against Manchester United, before a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
