• Gareth Southgate: ‘moments like this disturb and concern you’
Unai Emery has condemned the incident during Sunday’s north London derby in which a banana skin was thrown from the stands towards the Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, saying “nobody accepts” that kind of behaviour.
Four men have been charged by the Metropolitan police over incidents relating to the match at the Emirates Stadium, in which Arsenal beat Tottenham 4-2, while both clubs must answer a Football Association charge after Eric Dier’s equaliser led to a skirmish between their players. The flashpoints overshadowed a dazzling performance from the home team and Emery, who did not speak with Aubameyang after the game, made clear his distaste at the apparent targeting of his player.
