Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was the victim of an unfortunate ball error during the game against West Ham on Wednesday.
The Swiss star made just his third appearance of the season for Angers Postecoglou’s side in the London derby after falling down the pecking order.
When he ran behind to receive a pass from Brennan Johnson in the first half, Hoiberg sent the ball over.
However, the midfielder tried to kick with his left foot the first time, but the ball bounced off his standing right foot.
As a result, Hoiberg completely missed the ball and took a funny fall.
Tottenham’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was the victim of an unfortunate mistake in the match against West Ham.
The Swiss midfielder ran in behind and received a pass from Brennan Johnson.
Hojbjerg first tried to pass the ball with his left foot, but the ball hit his standing leg.
As a result, Hojbjerg completely missed the ball and fell funny.
And after the incident, fans rushed to ridicule the midfielder for his funny mistake.
One said: “That’s what the Internet is for. Great skills from Hojbjerg for Spurs.
Another joked, “Hoiberg had a bad jump,” while another fan joked, “Hoiberg has skills.”
The hapless Swiss star, who joined Spurs from Southampton in 2020 for £15 million, has attracted a growing number of supporters.
One added: “Do Southampton have any buy-back clause for Hojbjerg? I think the championship would suit him.”
Fans were quick to ridicule the Tottenham midfielder for his unfortunate misstep with the ball.
Another fan said: “Hoiberg just pulled Tierney – tears.”
Injury-plagued Spurs entered the contest with a memorable 3-3 draw away to Manchester City on Sunday.
They were in fifth place going into the match, three points behind Pep Guardiola’s side in fourth, after taking just one point from their last four games.
Spurs started well as Christian Romero headed home to score his first goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to go 1-0 up after 11 minutes.
