Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira was shown a straight red card by referee Anthony Taylor in the final stages of this afternoon’s north London derby.
In the 94th minute of the clash, the combative Uruguayan took things a step too far by putting in a high challenge on Tottenham left-back Danny Rose, Torreira’s challenge may not have warranted a red card but it was just far too reckless and it was at a heated stage of the game which may have influenced the referee’s decision.
The final ten minutes of the clash were about as dramatic as you’ll ever see.
