Tottenham might have picked up all three points against Everton on Monday night but the headlines have been dominated by an incident at half time between teammates Hugo Lloris and Son Heung-min.
With the players making their way towards the tunnel after the referee had blown his whistle, goalkeeper Lloris made his way over quickly to Son.
Giovanni Lo Celso tried to step in Lloris’ way but was pushed aside by the Spurs captain who then shoved Son.
Son, stunned at first tried to have a go at Lloris but was stopped by his teammates who managed to get both players into the dressing room with no further incidents.
Take a look at the confrontation below:

Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho said the incident was beautiful as he had asked the players to demand more from each other.
“It’s beautiful. It’s probably a consequence of our meetings. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I asked them to demand more from each other. I think it’s something very important for the team to grow up because you need to demand from each other,” he said.
