Tottenham Hotspur fans have provided a mixed reaction to Callum Wilson and Steve Bruce’s comments following their controversial draw on Sunday.

They were pretty critical of his comments and felt that he should have been more like his manager, who slammed handball rule.

Bruce labelled the new rule as ‘nonsense’ and his comments were welcomed with open arms by those in North London, as quoted by the Guardian.

Heung-Min Son, who went off injured at half time, hit the woodwork, and in truth, Spurs should have put the game to bed before the drama near the end unfolded.
