Photos circulating on social media showed Erik Lamela, Sergio Reguilon and Giovani Lo Celso at the party in London, also featuring West Ham player Manuel Lanzini.
UK government restrictions prohibit mixing with other people indoors, with London in the highest Tier 4 area of lockdown due to the rapid spread of a new strain of Covid-19.
Tottenham reacted angrily, with all three players facing disciplinary action, while West Ham said that Lanzini was “strongly reminded of his responsibilities.”
Lamela was not included in Tottenham’s roster during Saturday’s game against Leeds, while regular starter Reguilon, a summer addition to Real Madrid, was an unused substitute. Lo Celso is injured.
“We are extremely disappointed and deeply condemn this portrayal of some of our players with family and friends over Christmas, especially as we know the sacrifices everyone in the country has made to stay safe during the holiday season,” Tottenham said in a statement. statement.
“The rules are clear, there are no exceptions, and we regularly remind all our players and staff of the latest protocols and their responsibilities to adhere to them and set an example.
“The matter is being handled internally.”
Tottenham MP David Lammy also took to social media to voice his views, calling the trio ‘stupid and selfish’ in a post.
The remaining Tottenham players took the controversy off the field with a 3-0 win over Leeds United, moving to third place in the Premier League standings, four points behind top two Liverpool and Manchester United.
Leeds, so impressive after his promotion, had the best of the early openings before Steven Bergwijn was eliminated by Ezgjan Alioski and Harry Kane made no mistake from the penalty spot to put Tottenham ahead.
He then paired up again with forward Son Heung-min to send the South Korean into second place, his 100th for Tottenham.
The three points were effectively sealed when the second half of Son was headed home by Toby Alderweireld on the front post.
Matt Doherty’s late dismissal for a second bookable offense somewhat diminished the shine of an outstanding victory for Spurs, but manager Jose Mourinho was satisfied with an “important three points”.
Mourinho hinted at the disciplinary problems faced by three of his stars after the rules were broken.
“I think every club is doing the best for their players to keep them all safe, but there are also moments in their private life that you cannot control,” he told BT Sport.
“Not everyone can be blamed, so we have to keep going,” he added.
Mourinho was critical of the Premier League after his side’s midweek game against Fulham was canceled too late and doubled down on postponement.
“I’m going back to the original rules: if you have 14 players available, you have to play. I don’t see any other reason not to.”
Previously, Fulham’s game against Burnley on Sunday was also postponed due to Covid-19 positives at the West London club.
