Tottenham fans took to social media to slam Serge Aurier after RB Leipzig’s second goal in their Champions League clash on Tuesday night. Spurs came into the clash needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg of their last-16 showdown. However, RB Leipzig took the lead after just 10 minutes through Marcel Sabitzer.
Sabitzer then doubled RB Leipzig’s advantage on the night 11 minutes later.
Aurier failed to clear with his header, which saw Angelino get in behind.
The Manchester City loanee chipped the ball into Sabitzer who headed past Hugo Loris.
And fans slammed Aurier, who has been criticised for his poor temperament in the past, with some demanding the defender is sold.
One fan wrote on Twitter: “Aurier is pathetic.”
Another fumed: “Aurier is getting ripped apart.”

“Two things about Spurs. 1. How is Aurier a footballer? 2. Why is Dier at CB? He's s*** there,” a fellow Spurs fan said.
One wrote on Twitter: “That Angelino is having a field day against Aurier.”
“Aurier should be flogged out of this club. Lloris after him,” another fan fumed.
“Serge Aurier is not a right back man,” one fan simply put.
BT Sport pundit Rio Ferdinand slammed Aurier before kick off on Tuesday night, with the Manchester United hero blaming the defender for Spurs’ downfall in the first leg against RB Leipzig.
Aurier was spotted turning his back on Leipzig danger-man Timo Werner throughout the first leg in north London.

Ferdinand highlighted how the right-back wasn’t aware of Werner’s positioning in the tie.
“They caused Tottenham huge problems, especially in the wide areas,” said Ferdinand.
“In the wide areas, they just didn’t know what they were doing. They played two wing backs who patrolled the wide areas, and they had the run of the green in these wide areas.
“Spurs never got to grips with it. They were overpowered in midfield. But once the ball got wide, they didn’t deal with it.
“The ball is one the other side of the pitch, but Aurier… he looks once as to where Timo Werner is; the danger man for Leipzig. He looks once in this whole clip, it’s unbelievable.
“The problem is, when you get into a situation where Aurier is, you cannot allow a player to be looking at your back, so he can get in there, he can get in behind you.
“Aurier wouldn’t have an idea of where he is because is body position is totally wrong. He’s looking totally at the ball, and doesn’t see the man at all.
“He should be able to see the ball, and he should see Werner. He should take a step back so he can see both.
“Here, he can only see the ball. He doesn’t open his body up with his shoulders, and he doesn’t know where Werner is. He should be punished there.
“What is he looking at there? He’s looking one way, and that’s across the pitch.
“He’s got no idea about the area behind him. That’s illegal as a defender.
“As a schoolboy you’re taught, you’ve got to look where other people are.”
