Speaking to Mothership, the person who posted the TikTok video said that the man was "getting booed before he even sat down".

"I first noticed the sudden boos which was quite shocking because I thought the fans were booing the Spurs player that just touched the ball. I looked up only to realise the guy wearing Arsenal's jersey walking to his seat, which happened to be right in front of me. He came in late and was already booed before he even seat down.

Security asked his friends if they had an extra shirt he can change into. He eventually changed into an Argentina jersey and returned to the seat. No one really reacted when he return."
