Since their resounding 4-0 win away at champions Manchester City, they have failed to win any of their next three matches against Roma, Fulham and Bournemouth.
The Spurs supporters reacted furiously to manager Postecoglou when he went over to the visiting contingent at the end of the game.
He later admitted "I didn't like what was being said," and that "They gave me some direct feedback".
But Spurs skipper Son, 32, still felt it important for the players to do the same as Postecoglou and acknowledge the fans by going over to them.

Son could be seen gesturing to head towards the fans despite the volatile reaction they were receiving.
In response to the video on social media, one fan labelled the Spurs players' reluctance to address the fans "embarrassing".
While another added: ";Wouldn’t blame him [Son] for leaving, this is not the club he loved it’s a different pile of c*** now."
