Spurs fans booed their team off the pitch at half time - just before Ramos substituted £14million Russian signing Roman Pavlyuchenko - and at the end.

Spurs, whose only win in six games this season was against Poland’s Wisla Krakow in the UEFA Cup on Thursday night, have also drawn at Chelsea.
However, they manufactured just one decent chance against Wigan on Sunday, when Chris Kirkland made a fine save from Darren Bent in the first half.
Former Sevilla boss Ramos, appointed when Martin Jol was sacked last October, insisted: “It’s not true at all (that I want to go home).
“I am delighted to be in London and I’m delighted to be at Tottenham. I’m having a marvellous experience.”
Pavlyuchenko and another recent signing, £17million midfielder David Bentley, were substituted and Ramos explained: “We wanted to try something different in the second half and that is why we made changes.
He admitted: “We need time. Some players came in only just before the close of the transfer window and there have been big changes.
“The crowd made their reaction to the performance at the end and maybe it was just but I don’t think it is anything personal.
“We must still all work together and change the situation but it is a big pressure on the players at the moment.”
Despite Tottenham failing to find their goal-scoring touch, Ramos has also backed Darren Bent to seize his oppurtunity now that Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane have both left the club.
Berbatov and Keane kept Bent out of the team last season but their messy departures have led to Bent scoring three in his last three games.
“It’s a great opportunity for Darren because the two strikers have left who were playing a lot of minutes last season,” said Ramos. “Darren is obviously getting more time on the pitch now and he’s got to demonstrate he can make up for the loss of Robbie Keane and Dimitar.”
He added: “He’s a goalscorer, he’s quick, he’s very good with his head. He is a very lethal striker in the last few metres leading up to the goal.
“I’ve got a broad knowledge of international footballers, so I knew who he was when he was at Charlton, but not in the same depth I know him now.”
