Tottenham keeper Hart apologises after social media scheduling cock-up

Tottenham goalkeeper Joe Hart has apologised on social media after a scheduling cock-up.

Hart has apologised for his "unacceptable" and "sloppy" social media gaffe after posting 'job done' in the wake of Tottenham's humiliating Europa League exit against Dinamo Zagreb.

Despite Spurs' heavy defeat, Hart posted 'job done,' next to a tick in a now-deleted Instagram post, which angered the club's fanbase.

The 33-year-old has since apologised and blamed a member of his social media team for wrongly thinking that Spurs had won the match.

"Morning guys I feel like I need to come on and make an apology on behalf of my social media team," Hart said in a video on Instagram.

"It's just been brought to my attention, I've literally just woken up. Someone thought that we had won 3-0 last night. As sloppy as that sounds, it's the truth.

"I posted 'Job done'. That's unacceptable and I'm sure it's annoyed a lot of people and I'm sorry it's come to that. It's obviously not come from me, I've got nothing but love for the club and support for the club and I'm just as down as the boys are.

"Apologies again, unfortunately stuff like this happens and just know that it didn't come from any other place than a typo."
