According to Football.London, Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka laughed at Tottenham Hotspur head coach Jose Mourinho last night.
Arsenal won the North London derby against Tottenham 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday evening.
It has been reported that in the second half of the Premier League game, Xhaka laughed at Spurs head coach Mourinho after one particular incident.
The Switzerland international committed a foul on Spurs winger Lucas Moura in the second half.
Mourinho screamed at referee Michael Oliver and wanted him to give the 28-year-old a yellow card.
When Xhaka noticed it, he ‘began to laugh, before wagging his finger at the Portuguese to say it wasn’t a booking’, according to the report.
Arsenal were better
While Tottenham will feel aggrieved at the controversial penalty decision in the second half, on the balance of play, Arsenal were the better team.
The Gunners will now hope to build on the win in the North London derby and launch a late challenge for the Premier League top four.
Mikel Arteta’s side, like Mourinho’s team, are also still in the Europa League, and that is another route to the Champions League next season.
