Tottenham: Richarlison BLANKS Brazil team-mate Martinelli’s fist bump during the north London derby

Tottenham star Richarlison BLANKS Brazil team-mate Gabriel Martinelli’s fist bump during the fiery north London derby – before saying he ignored it because the Gunners winger “dived a lot”.
Richarlison ignored his Brazilian team-mate Gabriel Martinelli during Sunday’s north London derby, new footage has revealed.
Arsenal put on a dominant display at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, winning 2-0 after an own goal from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and a long-range effort from captain Martin Odegaard.
And video shared on social media shows Gunners winger Martinelli punching Spurs striker Richarlison – before the latter fades him out entirely.

Martinelli, 21, goes to the corner flag to take a corner, sees his Selecao team-mate and offers his hand to the pitch in a respectful gesture to Richarlison, who at the time was warming up as a substitute near by on the side.
While former Everton star Richarlison remains steadfast with his hands at his side, a presumably disappointed Martinelli keeps his hand there for a few seconds before taking the corner kick.
After the match, Richarlison admitted in an interview – translated by a social media user – that he did so because he believed the Gunners wideman was “diving a lot”.

After the match, Richarlison apologized, claiming it was because Martinelli “dived a lot.”
He said: “I want to apologize to Martinelli, I told him he dived a lot so I didn’t shake his hand. Also with Gabriel Magalhaes I told him that they pause the game all the time, I just said ‘let’s play’.
βWhat I really didn’t like was their goalkeeper. He celebrated in front of our fans, that’s a disrespect to our fans.
“He should have celebrated with their fans,” he added, despite his own history of diving allegations and showboating when winning.

After the match, an angry Richarlison also criticized Gunners goalie Aaron Ramsdale

After a fiery match, Richarlison reignited tensions by shoving goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale before Ramsdale was kicked by a fan in embarrassing scenes.
Tottenham are set for an investigation by the federation and the police into the fan’s actions, with the club promising a stadium ban and “the strongest measures” against the perpetrator.
Richarlison’s actions resulted in him being branded “the biggest baby in the league” by fans on social media. A separate video shows him pushing Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu’s hand away.
