Tottenham striker Richarlison accused Brazil teammate Gabriel Martinelli of diving during defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.

Arsenal put in a dominant performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, winning 2-0 after an own goal from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and a long-range effort from captain Martin Odegaard.

And video released on social media shows Gunners winger Martinelli extending a fist-bump to Spurs forward Richarlison - before the latter blanks him completely.

After the match, Richarlison admitted in an interview - translated by a social media user - that he did so because he believed the Gunners wideman was "diving a lot".

He said: "I'd like to apologise to Martinelli, I told him he was diving a lot, so I didn't shake his hand. Also with Gabriel Magalhaes I told him they were stopping play all the time, I just said, 'let's play'."
