Tottenham striker Richarlison publicly apologises to Brazil teammate Martinelli

Tottenham striker Richarlison has publicly apologised to Brazil teammate Gabriel Martinelli.

Richarlison's Spurs were outclassed 2-0 by their local rivals in the Premier League affair and were beaten at home in the fixture for the first time since 2014.

As tempers began to boil over, the Brazilian forward was seen ignoring Arsenal attacker Martinelli's offer of a hand-shake but the Spurs star has now apologised and asked his national team-mate to "hug it out".

The Brazilian international took to Instagram to share an, edited, image of the two player's wearing a shirt labelled the "t-shirt of union".

The message on the top said: "T-shirt of union. If you fight, you must wear it. Apologize. Hug it out. Say 'I love you'."
