Eric Dier's 'Hush' Celebration Sparks Brawl In North London Derby

Ladies and gentlemen, we have just witnessed the most entertaining 45 minutes of Premier League football this season, and it might just be the spiciest North London Derby we've seen in years. Hook it into my veins.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring from the penalty spot when Jan Vertonghen handled from a cross, but goals from Eric Dier and Harry Kane have handed Spurs a deserved 2-1 lead at half-time.

Dier's equaliser has certainly caused controversy, after he produced the classic 'hush' celebration in front of the Arsenal home support.

It all kicked off.

A big old scrap ensued between Dele Alli and a number of Arsenal players, even Spurs manager Maurcio Pochettino was forced to split things up between both sets of players as tempers flared.

It has certainly been a feisty North London Derby thus far.

Arsenal entertain their fiercest rivals Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon, with just three points separating the two.Arsenal currently sit in 5th in the Premier League on 27 points and are currently on an 18-match unbeaten run, with their last defeat coming on August 18th.

Gunners boss Unai Emery has proved many doubters wrong and added an element of grit to his side, which they showed at the weekend in their 2-1 victory at high-flying Bournemouth.

They also sealed top spot in their Europa League group on Thursday night following a 3-0 win over FC Vorskla.

Can they win this one?

Let us know in the comments.
