Tottenham striker, Richarlison has apologised to Arsenal man Gabriel Martinelli for snubbing him during the fiery North London Derby yesterday.
Spurs had a terrible day at home against the Premier League leaders, but Arsenal seemed to enjoy themselves for the majority of the fixture.
At one point, Martinelli went to take a set piece while Richarlison warmed up nearby, the Arsenal man offered a handshake to his compatriot, but Richarlison ignored him.
The Spurs man has apologised and revealed why he snubbed the Arsenal attacker.
He said via Metro Football:
‘It was a foul there that the referee ended up giving, we were close to the move, in my opinion, it wasn’t, I told him he was diving a lot, so I didn’t shake his hand.
‘I’m apologising to him. Like it or not, he’s my teammate. It’s part of the game, it’s a derby, we were hot-headed.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Richarlison has shown over the years that he is a player that takes things personally, while Martinelli believes it is just a game of football.
The Arsenal man will not care so much about the act. After all, it did not stop the Gunners from getting maximum points from the fixture.
Hopefully, we will beat Manchester United in our next game and continue to march toward winning the league title.

Richarlison was so petty IMO.. interesting to see the FA’s reaction to his attack on Aron ramsdale 👍
It’s not like Richardson has never dived is it ..
Richarlson..
Richarlison has been behaving like a spoiled kid. He stood out to me in the overdone Brasil behaviour in the WC. I only saw that part of it, didn’t see the match but he was over the top.
Then his behaviouor in the match yesterday – refuses to shake hands with GM, attacks AR after it’s over… the guy is not much of a human being imho.
If anyone was wondering why Arsenal didn’t buy him in the summer… I think we know now.
Didnt he also smack Tomis hand away on the touchline?
Remarkable Richard Keys hasn’t said anything …. he obviously only has eyes for Arteta !
