WATCH: Everton boss Silva laughs off Ozil coat clash; Emery bust-up

Everton boss Marco Silva has laughed off clashes with Arsenal counterpart Unai Emery and Mesut Ozil during victory on Sunday.

The two had a confrontation when Shokodran Mustafi clattered Dominic Calvert-Lewin on the touchline, and in the melee, Ozil threw a coat from the bench.

Asked if it was aimed at him, Silva replied with a laugh: “No!"

He said of Emery: "The football is emotional. He wants the best for his team, I want the best for mine. At the end we spoke together and everything is normal."

Silva continued: "That's the spirit I like, the desire to win every challenge. (Earlier in the season) we lost some confidence, we had a break and after we worked really well. It's the same team with more confidence.

“Congratulations to our players and fans. The atmosphere was fantastic and everything what we did since the first minute, the desire, the fantastic spirit and we deserved the three points. We were the best team on the pitch.“
