So, Tim Sherwood has punched Vertonghen? WOW, I'm surprised he found the dressing room after being trapped in the stands for 90 mins!

While there were no credible sources to report the incident, Tottenham's Aaron Lennon rushed to rubbish the claims on the very site that helped perpetuate the story:

"

Additionally, Roberto Soldado took to Instagram in order to silence the story:

While there wasn't much behind the story, it still didn't stop the Internet from having some fun with the bizarre rumour:

Apparently Tim Sherwood punched Soldado. Soldado went to punch him back but missed.
