Video: Emerson Royal sent off for Spurs after nasty tackle on Martinelli

Tottenham Hotspur have been reduced to ten men against Arsenal after Emerson Royal was shown a straight red card.

Trailing 2-1, the Brazilian was shown a straight red card by referee Anthony Taylor after he caught Gabriel Martinelli on the ankle with a late challenge.

It has been an afternoon to forget for Tottenham who have been second best to their bitter rivals and their cause was not helped after Hugo Lloris gifted the hosts their second goal.

Spurs have since gone further behind with Arsenal scoring a third and it is now a case of Conte’s side looking to hold on to keep the scoreline down.
