It was Montiel who came off worse, however, as he caught a stray elbow from Son, and tempers boiled over from there.

Clearly not in the mood for a scuffle, Son shoved Montiel, and Richarlison, who is barely two weeks at Spurs decided to jump in on the action.
Cameras caught Richarlison seemingly throwing an open-palmed jab before things eventually calmed down.
How the game went
As far as the game was concerned, it was a fairly even contest between two good sides.
It was Harry Kane who opened the scoring five minutes into the second half with a strike following some excellent work from Son Heung Min, who beat his man on the edge of the 18-yards before feeding the England forward.
Prior to that, Kane had seen one of his goals ruled out for offside.
