Manchester United had started the game strong, with goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford giving the team a 2-0 lead at half-time.
But Antony was not on the level of his team-mates during the first-half.
After buying the 23-year-old for £82 million in August, the Red Devils have struggled to get a consistent tune out of the ex-Ajax winger.
He has shown flashes of brilliance but has been criticised for blowing hot and cold, as well as his on-pitch antics.
And now boss Ten Hag has been seen losing his temper after the winger went to ground early on at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium looking for a free-kick.
No free-kick was given but Antony remained on the floor, causing Ten Hag to shout at the player to get up and play.
Antony didn’t argue but struggled to find his rhythm during the rest of the game as Spurs hit back to make it 2-2.
He was taken off before the final whistle, replaced by Wout Weghorst.

The incident comes a week after he put in a poor performance during United’s match against Sevilla last Thursday, resulting in United being dumped out of the Europa League.
But fans blasted Ten Hag’s handling of the game on Twitter, with many questioning the last-minute substitutions.
One wrote: “One more mufc lead bottled because of Ten Hag’s overthinking.”
Another typed: “Ten Hag gotta learn to stop taking Antony off, when has that ever worked in our favour.”
