Why Son Heung-min moment inflamed Rob Holding before red card in Tottenham vs Arsenal

Arsenal legend Ray Parlour thinks that Son Heung-min gave Rob Holding an 'elbow' in Thursday night's North London Derby, which angered the Gunners centre-back, who went on to be sent off inside 33 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Victory for Arsenal would've meant that the Gunners secured Champions League qualification at Tottenham's ground. Thus, it was a must-win game for Spurs, but the Lilywhites delivered under the highest pressure. Two first-half goals for Harry Kane meant that Antonio Conte's side went into the half-time break in cruise control. They were helped by the fact that Gunners centre-back Rob Holding was sent off in the 33rd minute for a second yellow card offence.

Son wrapped things up almost immediately after the restart as Spurs eased to three points. Victory means they now trail their arch-rivals by just one point with two games to go in the race for the top four.
