Tottenham Hotspur striker, Richarlison, has issued an apology to Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli after a spat with his Brazil teammate during the north
Tottenham defeated Arsenal 2-0 following an own-goal from Hugo Lloris and a goal from Martin Odegaard.
During the match, Richarlison was also involved in a verbal altercation with Martinelli in the second half as he accused the Arsenal forward of diving. Speaking about the run-in with Martinelli after the match, Richarlison told ESPN Brasil: “It was a foul there that the referee ended up giving, we were close to the move, in my opinion, it wasn’t, I told him he was diving a lot, so I didn’t shake his hand.
“I’m apologising to him. Like it or not, he’s my teammate. It’s part of the game. It’s a derby, we were hot-headed.“He ended up getting yellow, and I said to him, ‘let’s play, let’s play’. I told him they were stopping play all the time. It’s part of the game.”
