Tottenham issue statement after Aaron Ramsdale incident at end of North London Derby vs Arsenal

Tottenham have confirmed that they will take "the strongest possible action" against the supporter who attempted to attack Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale at the end of the North London Derby. Following the Gunners' 2-0 win over Spurs at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the goalkeeper was kicked by a supporter when he went to pick up his water bottle.

A scuffle between Ramsdale and Tottenham attacker Richarlison had taken place a few seconds earlier before security separated the pair. After moving back towards the goal to collect his bottle, one person from the home end stood up on the hoardings and kicked the goalkeeper.

A statement on Tottenham's official website read: "We are appalled by the behaviour of a supporter that attempted to attack Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale at the end of today’s match. Violence in any form has no place in football.
