A number of fans have taken to Twitter to slam Spurs star Toby Alderweireld’s performance during Belgium’s surprise defeat to Switzerland in their Nations League clash at the weekend.
The Tottenham ace was picked alongside Dedryck Boyata and Vincent Kompany at the heart of Roberto Martinez’s side’s defence for the game that looked set to decide who would be heading to Portugal next summer.
And it appeared that Belgium were going to cruise into the last four of the competition as Thorgan Hazard gave the World Cup semi-finalists a 2-0 lead inside 17 minutes.
But Switzerland turned the game on its head, scoring five times to claim a famous win. And the defeat led to Alderweireld coming in for a lot of criticism from various supporters on social media.
