RICHARLISON failed to hide his frustration in the North London derby following a tense coming together with Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Arsenal took bragging rights back to the Emirates after beating Tottenham 2-0 away from home.
Richarlison was involved in a heated exchange of words with Aaron Ramsdale at full-time, before the Arsenal keeper was KICKED by a disgraceful Spurs supporter.
But an eagle-eyed fan spotted an off-field spat between the Brazilian and Arsenal defender Tomiyasu on the touchline earlier in the game.
Tomiyasu put his arm across Richarlison, who then angrily pulled it away.
The Spurs forward came off the bench and had a late chance denied by stopper Ramsdale, who was named man of the match.

And it riled up the home Spurs supporters inside the stadium, with one even punting Ramsdale as he went to collect his water bottle.
He responded to Sky Sports: “The Spurs fans were giving me some stick in the second half and I gave them some back.
“To the few I did do it to it was probably well-greeted sportsmanship like but then a fan jumped over and gave me a little punch in the back.
