Antonio Conte's blunt response to Emerson Royal red card as he reacts to Arsenal defeat

Antonio Conte has refused to comment on Emerson Royal's red card as his Tottenham side tasted Premier League defeat for the first time this season.

The wing-back was dismissed on the hour with his side 2-1 down at the Emirates following a challenge on Gabriel Martinelli. Emerson's studs were deemed to be too high by Anthony Taylor as they crunched the Arsenal forward's ankle and he was given his marching orders.

Arsenal scored their third minutes after Emerson walked, which all but killed Tottenham's chances of getting back level.
