Tottenham and Arsenal players involved in angry confrontation in north London derby

Tottenham and Arsenal players went head to head in more ways than one during a feisty first half of the north London derby.

Both teams including substitutes were involved in a melee after Eric Dier equalised midway through the first half following Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang's opener from the penalty spot.

The incident seemed to occur after Dier celebrated his leveller by putting his fingers to his lips to silence the Emirates crowd.
