SPURS striker Richarlison will NOT face any FA action for his North London derby bust-up with Aaron Ramsdale.
Richarlison confronted Ramsdale when the England keeper responded to taunts from home fans by pointing to his Arsenal crest at the final whistle of Sunday’s 2-0 win.
He appeared to thrust his palm towards Ramsdale and make contact twice, although the Arsenal star shrugged it off.
