Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler accused of 'racist' comment about Son Heung-min

Martin Tyler has been criticised for making a perceived 'racist' comment about Son Heung-Min whilst commentating live on the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Tottenham.

In what proved a dramatic afternoon at Anfield, the hosts went 3-0 up within 15 minutes only for Tottenham to storm back, with Son himself on the scoresheet to pull it back to 3-2 with 13 minutes remaining. His team-mate Richarlison then levelled in injury time, only for Diogo Jota to immediately strike back and win it for The Reds.

But amid the excitement, Tyler courted controversy after Son fouled Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo during the game. The South Korean appeared to pull his opponent back as Gakpo looked to launch a counter attack, and was booked for his actions.
