In a heated moment during Sunday’s clash at Anfield, Tottenham defenders Cristian Romero and Emerson Royal had to be separated at half-time as tempers flared. The incident occurred as Spurs trailed Liverpool 2-0, reminiscent of past confrontations within the team. Goals from Mo Salah and Andy Robertson had put Liverpool in control, leading to frustration among the Tottenham players.
Romero and Emerson engaged in a verbal altercation as they made their way off the pitch for the break, with their shouting escalating until goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario intervened to separate them. Despite the altercation, manager Ange Postecoglou acknowledged the players’ passion, emphasizing that their emotions showed they cared about the game.
However, Tottenham’s spirited performance was not enough to salvage any points at Anfield, as they succumbed to a 4-2 defeat despite a late fightback. This incident echoes a similar clash between Son Heung-Min and Hugo Lloris in 2020 and reflects the intense emotions within the team during challenging moments on the field.
“I don’t mind that kind of behaviour but they should have that aggression in their defending”
