Tottenham fans joined the bizarre 'shoes off' craze during their side's Under 21 victory over Arsenal on Monday night.

Just 24 hours after celebrating a 3-1 victory over Manchester City in the Premier League, more than 1,000 Spurs supporters turned up at Barnet's Underhill stadium for the 'mini derby'.

Nabil Bentaleb's 46th minute strike secured a 1-0 victory over their north London rivals and fans celebrated by chanting 'shoes off, if you love Tottenham'.

The bizarre chant was first sung by Newcastle fans in 2006 and has since been taken up by Bangor, Cardiff and Wolves fans.

Some believe it was inspired by the Islamic insult of showing the soles of your shoes while others claim it was simply an act of bravado during a freezing match-day at St James' Park.
