Richarlison and Takehiro Tomiyasu face off in an off-field spat
Richarlison was involved in a heated exchange of words with Aaron Ramsdale at full-time, before the Arsenal keeper was KICKED by a disgraceful Spurs supporter.
But an eagle-eyed fan spotted an off-field spat between the Brazilian and Arsenal defender Tomiyasu on the touchline earlier in the game.
Tomiyasu put his arm across Richarlison, who then angrily pulled it away.
The Spurs forward came off the bench and had a late chance denied by stopper Ramsdale, who was named man of the match.
But tempers flared after the game with opposing players colliding following the final whistle.
And it riled up the home Spurs supporters inside the stadium, with one even punting Ramsdale as he went to collect his water bottle.
He responded to Sky Sports: “The Spurs fans were giving me some stick in the second half and I gave them some back.
“To the few I did do it to it was probably well-greeted sportsmanship like but then a fan jumped over and gave me a little punch in the back.

“That’s what happened and it is a shame because it’s just a game of football at the end of the day.
“Both sets of players tried to bring me away, thankfully nothing happened too drastic.
“It is a sour taste but I am sure we will enjoy it when we go back to the dressing room.”
