According to Football.London, Tottenham Hospur attacker Son Heung-min laughed at Arsenal defender Rob Holding following a first-half incident
Spurs ran out 2-0 winners as they twice hit their North London rivals on the break, with Son firing home the opener from Harry Kane’s pass.
Son returned the favour by setting up Kane for number two, and Spurs saw out the second half comfortably as they beat Arsenal again.
This report notes that Son was on the receiving end of a heavy challenge from Holding shortly after his goal, showing some frustration at conceding.
Eagle-eyed fans may have spotted the incident in front of the Arsenal bench, and Son was seen merely laughing at Holding as he walked away.
Son had already let his feet do the talking; he’d scored a stunning winner, and later added an assist to what was a fine performance.
This is something Jose Mourinho will love. Son was sent off for retaliation against Chelsea around this time last year, but he showed restraint this time.
Mourinho will also love this his players were able to get under the skin of Tottenham’s bitter rivals, and having had a laugh midway through the first half, Spurs ultimately had the last laugh too.
