Tottenham and Brazil forward Richarlison has blamed “disrespectful”

Aaron Ramsdale

for the heated exchange they ahd at the end of last night’s derby.

Ramsdale kissed Arsenal’s badge after their sensational 2-0 victory over their north London enemies which prompted Richarlison to run to him and shove him. An argument between the two sides ensued and in the chaos of it all a Spurs fans managed to get into the pitch and kick Ramsdale in the back.

In regards to the incident, Richarlison told ESPN:

"What I really didn't like was their goalkeeper going to celebrate in front of our fans. It's kind of disrespectful to our fans. He has his fans, he has to go celebrate with his fans, not be cute with our fans.

"People know that we tried to do our best, but you have to respect other teams. [Ramsdale] lacked respect there, and I went there to charge [against] him."

The Brazilian forward had arguments with fellow Brazilians Martinelli and Magalhaes but he admitted that he was wrong in how he treated Martinelli.

"I want to apologize to [Martinelli],"

Richarlison

said.

"He put his hand out and I didn't. Like it or not, he is my Brazil team-mate. This is part of it, it's a derby, we were hot headed.

"With [Magalhaes], I argued a little because he was holding up the game. He ended up getting a yellow [for time-wasting], and I said to him: 'Let's play, let's play'. And he was holding up the game."

Tottenham has since come out and released an statement, condemning the attacks on Ramsdale by the fan who kicked him, promising that they would be

“working with the Met Police, Arsenal and Aaron Ramsdale to take the strongest possible action, including an immediate ban from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium."
