Did you see what Eric Dier said to Aaron Ramsey after Arsenal vs Tottenham brawl?
ERIC DIER appeared to scream ‘sit down’ after his equaliser sparked ugly scenes at the Emirates.
Dier’s header on the half-hour mark cancelled out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s penalty which put hosts Arsenal in front after only ten minutes.
The Tottenham star ran to the crowd to celebrate and players from both sides collided and had to be pulled apart.
Dele Alli and Aaron Ramsey - who was warming up on the sidelines - were the main protagonists.
But Dier was also at the heart of it and took exception to Ramsey getting involved despite not playing in the game.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino sprinted from his dugout to try and clam his players down during the heated derby clash.
And Spurs used the anger to fuel a stunning comeback as Harry Kane put them in front from the penalty spot ten minutes before half-time.
Heung-Min Son went down under the challenge of Rob Holding but replays showed there to be little or no contact.
However, Kane took full advantage by smashing the spot kick into the bottom corner with great aplomb.
It has been a pulsating first half at The Emirates...

Former QPR forward Bradley Allen said the penalty should not have been given.
Speaking to the BBC, he said: “I don't think there was much contact. It's harsh on Arsenal. Again, there's a lot of confusion.
“(referee) Mike Dean wasn't up with play. He's a long way from the incident.”
Gunners boss Unai Emery - who watched his side make an electric start - could be seen calling for calm as the clash threatened to turn ugly.
