Ahead of Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg against Ajax, a number of Tottenham Hotspur fans criticised right-back Kieran Trippier.

Indeed, a host said that they did not want the defender to make the trip to Amsterdam.

The England international was ultimately named in the XI, but struggled once again before being replaced in the latter stages.

In the end, the fact that Trippier had a few nervy moments mattered little as Lucas Moura scored an incredible hat-trick to send Tottenham into the final of the competition.

Italian giants Napoli continue to be linked with a summer move for the former Manchester City youngster, who starred as England reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup.

It is very difficult to see a way back for Trippier when it comes to regaining the trust of the Tottenham fans, who have slammed him on social media once again.
