A dominant Arsenal win the north London derby 2-0 away at Tottenham to extend their Premier League lead. However, there are still unpleasant scenes on the pitch after the game.

Trigger for this is Gunners keeper Aaron Ramsdale. After the final whistle, the Englishman raised his fist in the face of Tottenham striker Richarlison. The Brazilian feels provoked by this, puts his index finger in front of his nose and pushes his head away. A steward finally separates the two brawlers and leads Ramsdale back to his gate. That’s where it finally comes to a head.
“That’s a shame”
From the stands, a Tottenham fan climbs onto the advertising board behind the goal and kicks Ramsdale in the back before disappearing back into the crowd. Background: Throughout the game, Spurs fans provoked the goalkeeper, who responded by sticking his tongue out at them.
After the game he was shocked by the incident: “It’s a shame because after all it’s just a football game”. It was “a sour aftertaste.”
Shortly after the incident, the English Football Association FA and the police began investigating the unknown person in order to impose “the greatest possible sanctions”. This also includes an immediate stadium ban.
Arteta holds Xhaka back
But even after the scene, the riots continue, and more packs form on the square. Granit Xhaka also wants to get involved. But his coach Mikel Arteta recognizes the situation immediately, starts a sprint and holds his midfield strategist back.
The coach talks to our national captain and finally manages to calm him down. When the hustle and bustle subsides shortly afterwards, the Arsenal players let their fans celebrate their derby victory. A party that should now continue: With an eight-point lead over Manchester City, they are slowly but surely on course towards the 14th championship title in the club’s history. (bjl)
