Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris said the club’s fans booing of defender Davinson Sanchez during Saturday’s 3-2 home loss to Bournemouth was “sad” for everyone.
Sanchez was at fault for Bournemouth’s second goal to make the score 2-1 in the 51st minute, when he was turned inside and out by Marcus Tavernier. While he got a toe to the ball, the Colombian centre-back only succeeded in taking it into the path of Dominic Solanke, who beat Lloris to find the back of the net.

Tottenham fans booed Sanchez’s next touch and interim manager Cristian Stellini decided to substitute him just seven minutes later, despite only bringing him on for the injured Clement Lenglet in the 35th minute.
“I’ve never seen this in my career,” Lloris told beIN Sport when asked about the booing of Sanchez. “I feel really bad for Davinson because he’s a team-mate, he’s a friend and he’s been fighting for the club for many, many years now.
“It’s just sad. The story is sad for the club, the fans and the player. It’s something you don’t want to see in football.”
