Arsenal and Tottenham players clashed during the first half of the North London derby

Heated exchanges took place before the situation was calmed down

Jurrien Timber had been confronted by Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario for a tackle he made on Pedro Porro

The pair went head to head

Bukayo Saka was one of many payers to step in and protect his teammate

The incident was sparked from Timber leaving Pedro Porro on the floor after a tackle that was deemed as 'reckless' by VAR

Timber's leg came close to rolling over the ball and hurting Porro during the challenge

It wouldn’t be the North London derby without some boiling tempers and on-pitch drama – and Timber ensured that this clash was no different.

The Dutchman went into a 50/50 challenge with Pedro Porro and saw his foot slide on top of the ball, giving Jarred Gillett no choice but to reach for a yellow card.

However, Timber had other ideas, continuing with the ball at his feet until he reached the byline next to Vicario’s goal.

The Spurs keeper was less than impressed with what he had seen from Timber and confronted his Arsenal counterpart.
