Wilshere and Lamela clashed (Picture: BT Sport)

Jack Wilshere and Erik Lamela were involved in a bust-up at the final whistle of the north London derby after Tottenham Hotspur delivered a crushing blow to Arsenal’s top-four hopes.

Harry Kane’s goal secured the three points as Spurs moved up to third and left Arsenal six points behind Liverpool in the final Champions League slot, while also nudging Chelsea outside the top four, for the time being at least.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side were by far the stronger outfit in the second half and could easily have enjoyed a more comfortable victory, but Spurs were guilty of wasting some great opportunities.



Though the game was largely played in a fairly level-headed manner, tempers flared at full time.

Wilshere and Lamela exchanged words and both players had to be held back by their team-mates as they clashed on the Wembley pitch.

The Argentine appeared to taunt the England international who rose to the bait, clearly upset by the result.
