A CHELSEA fan account has faced a severe backlash for mocking Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen after he was left with a bloody nose following a horror clash of heads.
The Belgian suffered a sickening KO, as Ajax delivered the first blow in this Champions League semi-final, when he accidentally clashed with team-mate Toby Alderweireld in the 32nd minute.
Vertonghen nutted the back of Alderweireld’s head as they jumped for a free-kick with Ajax keeper Andre Onana.
A Chelsea fan account tweeted a love heart emoji following a picture posted of the Spurs defender’s injury – and the disgusting jibe was met with great criticism, mainly from fellow Blues fans, with one branding it "disgusting".
A fan said: "I don’t like Spurs and Vertonghen but that was a scene I didn’t like to see."
Another said: "Worst fan channel."
One commented: "That's a bit much, even for a hated rival…"
Another commented: "You represent no one."
Disgusting.

But moments later the groggy star walked unsteadily to the touchline before he then started retching.
Spurs could face a Uefa probe after the centre-half had to be helped off the pitch a minute after his brutal clash.
TV pundits and fans slammed Spurs for sending him back on.
But boss Poch said: “Our medical staff followed the protocol.
“I wasn’t involved, that was a doctor’s decision. We took him out because he didn’t feel well. He is OK now. We are more relaxed. I hope it is not a big issue.”
