Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris has revealed his sympathy for teammate Davinson Sanchez after he was booed off the pitch.
The centre-back had a torrid time against Bournemouth, with Spurs falling to a 3-2 defeat against the Premier League strugglers.
Sanchez was substituted on for the injured Clement Lenglet in the 35th minute.
However, Arnaut Danjuma replaced him just before the hour mark, with the defender being met by boos and ironic cheers from the home crowd.
After the defeat, Lloris spoke on Sanchez’s reception from the supporters, citing it as a sad story.
He told beIN Sports: “I feel really bad for him. I’ve never seen this in my career. It started when he came on the pitch.
“He’s been fighting for Spurs for many many years now. The story is sad for the club, fans and the player.”
Sanchez has struggled to impress at Spurs this season and found it tough against the Cherries.
Heung-min Son opened the scoring at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a calm finish inside the area.
Bournemouth equalised through Matias Vina, though, with Sanchez unable to keep up with the Uruguayan before he scored.
The Spurs defender then put the ball on the plate for Dominic Solanke to put the visitors in front early in the second half.
His replacement Danjuma scored what he thought would be a precious equaliser in the 88th minute.
However, substitute hero Dango Ouattara netted in the fifth minute of stoppage time to dramatically seal all three points.
Spurs have now lost ground on the race for a top four finish as they sit three points behind 4th placed Manchester United, who have two games in hand.
