Dinamo Zagreb’s ex-Arsenal youngster Burton taunts Tottenham with cheeky tweet as fans celebrate with team after win


DINAMO ZAGREB’s former Arsenal youngster Robbie Burton has cheekily celebrated at Tottenham’s expense.

It was a disastrous defeat for Spurs as they crashed out of Europe after losing 3-2 on aggregate to the Croatians.

And Burton could not resist having a dig at Tottenham as he tweeted: “London is red…..Croatia is blue.”

It completed a shocking week for Spurs after losing to Arsenal in the North London derby.

Burton, 21, came through the Gunners academy before the midfielder moved to Dinamo Zagreb last year.

Jose Mourinho’s side face an uphill struggle to qualify for Europe and the Tottenham boss was left dejected after their feeble defeat in Zagreb.

Mourinho said: “Before the game I told my players of a bad attitude and it happened.

“I believed the players only realised the game was in risk when they scored the second goal.

“I feel sorry for my team – I belong to that team – did not bring the basics of football but the basics of life, which is to respect our jobs and to give everything.”

Mourinho even went into the home dressing room after the match to congratulate them and Burton clearly made the most of Zagreb’s shock win.

Tottenham need a big reaction on Sunday in their next game at Aston Villa in the Premier League.
