Tottenham have released a statement condemning the behaviour of a fan who tried to kick Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale after yesterday’s North London Derby.
The Gunners won 2-0 against Spurs to continue their unlikely title challenge, and it was another superb performance from the league leaders.
However, the result was marred by some unsavoury scenes at the end of the game, with Ramsdale confronted by Spurs forward Richarlison and then by a fan who tried to attack him.
Tottenham now say they are working with the police to help identify the supporter in question as they were ‘appalled’ by what took place.
“We are appalled by the behaviour of a supporter that attempted to attack Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale at the end of today’s match. Violence in any form has no place in football,” the north London club said on their official site.
“The Club has reviewed its CCTV footage to identify the supporter and will be working with the Met Police, Arsenal and Aaron Ramsdale to take the strongest possible action, including an immediate ban from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.”
