Tottenham release statement after fan attacks Aaron Ramsdale.
Tottenham Hotspur have released a statement announcing that they will take “the strongest possible measures” after a fan kicked Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale at the end of the North London derby.
Arsenal won 2-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, due to first-half goals from Martin Odegaard and a humiliating own goal by Hugo Lloris.
After the final whistle, things took an unpleasant turn as Richarlison confronted Ramsdale while the goalkeeper was kissing the Arsenal badge.

When the Gunners‘ number one went to get his water bottle and towel from behind the goal, he was met by a swarm of enraged Tottenham fans, one of whom jumped onto the advertising panel and kicked Ramsdale.
In a statement released on the club website regarding the incident, Tottenham wrote:
“We are appalled by the behaviour of a supporter that attempted to attack Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale at the end of today’s match. Violence in any form has no place in football.
“The Club has reviewed its CCTV footage to identify the supporter and will be working with the Met Police, Arsenal and Aaron Ramsdale to take the strongest possible action, including an immediate ban from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.”
