Due to risk of violence, football fans are separated at stadiums with a small portion provided for the away fans, but an Arsenal fan was spotted among the home fans wearing the club's third kit, as revealed by Caught Offside.

As seen in the same video, the steward on duty in the section looked totally unimpressed, possibly with the guys filming whom she may have misunderstood their gesture for their guy and thought it was for her.

Richarlison snubs compatriot Martinelli

Sports Brief earlier reported that Tottenham forward Richarlison snubbed compatriot Gabriel Martinelli after the drama-filled North London derby.

It was one of the issues that ensued after the game, as they gave lived up to the expected controversies in a high profile rivalry match in English football.

Arteta prevents Xhaka from fighting

Sports Brief also reported that Mikel Arteta chased after Granit Xhaka to stop the midfielder from fighting after an altercation around Aaron Ramsdale goal area.

The situation was eased but as Arsenal players were moving away, Xhaka moved back into the scene before his manager spotted him and quickly dragged him away from the scene.

The Swiss is one of the most eccentric members of the squad and a regular in the referee's books and Arteta identified this and prevented an impending issue.
