A number of Tottenham fans picked up on how Cristian Romero celebrated Eric Dier's strike in the 4-1 demolition of Southampton on Saturday afternoon. Scoring his first Spurs goal since the final day of the 2018/19 season with a brilliant stooping header from Son Heung-min's cross, the 28-year-old wheeled off in delight and he was soon joined by his teammates.
Seeing Son and Ryan Sessegnon jump on him, Romero was quickly over to join them by the touchline. Rather than following in Son and Sessegnon's footsteps by jumping on the long-serving player, the Argentina international instead went for a different approach and gave him a slap on the head before punching him in the side.
That wasn't it from the ex-Atalanta man as he slapped Dier's head a further two times before heading back to get in position for the restart. Not exactly a rare sight when teams score a goal, Romero was quite simply showing his affection for his teammate and highlighting how happy he was that he scored.
