Tottenham striker Savio Simons (23) clashed with opposing fans, exchanging insults, while being carried off due to a knee injury.

The UK's 'The Sun' reported on the 27th (Korea time) that "Simons was captured on camera repeatedly responding with 'F*** YOU' to a Wolverhampton fan who jeered and hurled severe profanities at him as he was being carried off after sustaining an injury during the away match in Wolverhampton."

Tottenham secured a 1-0 victory at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, on the 25th in the 34th round of the '2025-2026 English Premier League (EPL)', thanks to a winning goal by Joao Palhinha. It was a victory that lifted them out of a 15-match winless streak (6 draws, 9 losses) and kept their hopes of EPL survival alive. However, new setbacks emerged as Dominic Solanke and Simons collapsed in succession due to injuries.

In the second half, Simons fell after sustaining a severe impact to his knee. Despite the pain, he tried his best to get back up, but ultimately had to be carried off on a stretcher by medical staff toward the locker room.

As he was being removed, home fans directed harsh criticism at Simons. In particular, after one fan hurled severe profanities at him, an enraged Simons, lying on the stretcher, repeatedly responded with coarse insults directed at that fan.

The media stated, "Simons' departure is a painful setback for new Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi, who has been facing a crisis due to the absence of a creative playmaker."

Manager De Zerbi stated in a post-match interview, "I hope both players are not seriously injured. Solanke has a muscle injury, so it is not a major concern whether he misses a few matches. However, I am very concerned about Simons' knee injury."

He added, "Knee injuries are far more complicated than muscle injuries. I want to determine Simons' exact condition as soon as possible. We plan to monitor his progress in detail around Monday or next week. Fortunately, after speaking with him two minutes ago, he reported that the pain has subsided somewhat compared to right after the injury."
