Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario unleashed an astonishing tirade at his team-mate Ryan Sessegnon after Friday night's win against Burnley.

Spurs progressed in the FA Cup after beating the Clarets 1-0 courtesy of Pedro Porro's screamer.

But the game was a close-run thing in the end, and Burnley came close to scoring a late goal to equalise, and send the tie to a replay.

Video footage after the game has shown Vicario shaking Sessegnon furiously, and arguing with him at the conclusion of the match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while Burnley players were around shaking the hands of their opponents.

The clip has left fans questioning what caused the Spurs goalkeeper to have such a heated reaction at the conclusion of the game, which the London club won.

One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'Never seen Vic this riled up Sess what did you do', alongside a crying emoji.

Another fan noted that Spurs 'Nearly conceded last second', which may have led to the confrontation, as a late goal for Burnley would have eaten into the club's winter break.

A third supporter said: 'Vic showed leadership, that's hot', alongside a saluting emoji, with his decision to challenge his defender after the full-time whistle had blown at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Another noted: 'I love this about him. Demands the best from everyone.'

It looked like Tottenham would fail their first test without captain and top goalscorer Heung-min Son, before Porro's venomous strike in the 78th minute settled the tie in favour of the hosts.

But they nearly blew it. Burnley's Zeki Amdouni was left unmarked in the penalty area during a corner in the eighth minute of stoppage time, but his outstretched volley was steered over the top-right corner of Vicario's net. 

Fans took to social media to discuss the incident, and questioning what caused the row

After beating Burnley, Tottenham are in the hat for the FA Cup fourth round, with the draw to be held on Monday evening.

Spurs travel to Man United on the evening of Sunday January 14, before their winter break, which will finish with their next outing in the cup.
