Tottenham teammates Hugo Lloris and Heung-min Son were involved in an extraordinary breakdown on the pitch.
The Spurs players had to be separated from Harry Winks and Giovani Lo Celso after being caught by cameras at the end of the first half against Everton.
Jose Mourinho’s men won 1-0 in the 24th minute thanks to an own goal from Michael Keane. Spurs scored all three points in the end.
But there was no celebration when the whistle sounded after 45 minutes when Captain Lloris and son attacked each other.
The Fracas seemed to be due to Son not tracing back when Yerry Mina intercepted a passport on him – which was a Richarlison chance.

Commentator Gary Neville said: “You should have shown so much passion on the pitch.”
However, the mood calmed down before the second half when Lloris and Son were shown hugging in the tunnel.
Sky Sports expert Jamie Redknapp said, “He [Son] give up, he absolutely gives up
“There’s a reaction when Lloris yells at Son – that’s probably the most exciting thing that happened in the first half.
“But that could actually be a consequence of what happened in the Sheffield United game when he didn’t challenge.
“Lloris runs towards him, he almost pushes Lo Celso in the way.
“I’ve been involved before – Steve McManaman and Bruce Grobbelaar.
“In a way, it shows at least that they take care of it because they haven’t had enough of it against Sheffield United.
“Sometimes you have to have it – it’s not the first time that it happened in football, and it won’t be the last time.
“They want the players to show a little passion.
“It was too easy – he has to go back and help his team and he didn’t.
“Sometimes you have to let people know!”
Lloris downplayed the post-game incident, insisting that it was only the minds that rose in the heat of the moment when Everton sought compensation shortly before the break.
“What happened between me and Sonny is sometimes just part of football. But there is no problem at all.
“At the end of the game, you can see that we are more than happy to be part of the team and to have these three points.”
When Lloris found out what triggered the incident, he found that just before half-time it was an Everton attack that Son Richarlison could not trace.
“Yes. I think we have to give a chance a few seconds before half-time because we don’t do the push properly. Yes, that annoyed me. But it’s part of football, keep going.”
