Adebayor made his first start for Tottenham since November after being handed compassionate leave, as well as injury and illness problems that have kept him out of the squad.
The former Arsenal star was even handed the captain’s armband – but was later booed off by the fans when he was replaced after 65 minutes.
Here’s how Twitter reacted – and it seems Spurs fans weren’t too pleased with their player being booed:
As much as I’m not a fan booing Adebayor is well out of order. Never boo your own players however bad or as much as they may be arseholes. — Steve Joslin (@wolverine99) January 21, 2015
To those fans that boo’ed Adebayor tonight, can I ask why exactly? And why him specifically over others? #THFC
