The Back Pages – Shame is the Spur
The Daily Express back page reports on Tottenham’s loss to Arsenal – with the focus of the story on Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale being kicked in the back by a fan.
Aaron Ramsdale was kicked by a Tottenham fan in an ugly post-match incident that was captured by TV cameras after the north London derby.
Arsenal and Tottenham will help the Metropolitan Police with their investigation into the post-match incident which saw Aaron Ramsdale kicked by an irate Spurs fan after Sunday’s north London derby. The Gunners managed to pull eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table thanks to a rip-roaring first-half performance, with Mikel Arteta’s side claiming all three points on enemy territory for the first time since 2014.
The match was somewhat overshadowed by an unsavoury incident that took place after the full-time whistle, though, as Ramsdale went behind the goal to collect his water bottle after celebrating in front of the Tottenham fans. One supporter raced down to the bottom of the stand and managed to launch a kick at Ramsdale, who looked furious as he was quickly ushered away by his team-mates.
