CRISTIAN ROMERO celebrated Tottenham's opener against West Ham by booting goal scorer Emerson Royal.
The defender charged over to Royal after the right-back slotted Spurs ahead.
While many of Spurs' stars celebrated conventionally by hugging Royal, Romero took a different approach.
The 24-year-old was caught by Sky cameras running over to Royal and jokingly booting him in the leg.
Richarlison also went for an unusual celebration, grabbing a handful of Royal's shirt before the defender replied by putting his hand around Richarlison's neck.

Another said: "Don't know what's worse playing against Romero or scoring for his team the way he just treated Royal."
A third quipped: "Cristian Romero is the most nuts guy in the league. Did he just kick Emerson after he scored?"

And a fourth joked: "Trying to understand why did Romero kick Emerson Royal during the celebration."
Royal found the back of the net following a brilliant counter-attack by the home side, slotting home after being teed up by Ben Davies.
Son Heung-min then came off the bench to double Spurs' lead and seal a 2-0 win.
