Lloris and Son were involved in an unlikely fight at half-time | ADAM DAVY/Getty Images
Despite the men in the dugout boasting a full five Champions League titles between them, Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham versus Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton offered very little to get excited about.
Fortunately, a spicy, little subplot unfolded as everyone’s favourite ball of smiling enthusiasm Son Heung-Min and 33-year-old captain of his national team Hugo Lloris almost went full 2005 Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer.
On the cusp of half time, Son half-heartedly tracked back after losing possession, Richarlison got a shot away and Lloris was absolutely furious.
The goalkeeper tore over to Son at halftime, had a right old shout at him, and the pair had to be pulled apart by peacemakers Giovanni Lo Celso, Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko.
Gary Lineker was one of many fans surprised to see two of the more senior players in the Spurs squad losing their temper.
Good heavens indeed, Gary. Many fans were pleased the pair had shown a bit of fight and spirit, after watching their team put in a first half performance devoid of anything of the sort.
The Everton result became secondary as debate sparked about who would come out on top between the pair.
But most fans were just rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of watching the fight unfold all over again in a few months time on Amazon Prime’s Tottenham documentary.

Đội trưởng Real Madrid Sergio Ramos thiết lập cột mốc ghi bàn xuất sắc hơn bất kỳ cầu thủ nào sau khi lập công hạ Athletic Bilbao mới đây.
Real thắng Bilbao với bàn thắng duy nhất do Ramos ghi trên chấm phạt đền ở vòng 34 La Liga tối 5/7.
Đây đã là bàn thắng thứ năm của Ramos kể từ khi La Liga trở lại giữa mùa dịch Covid-19. Thành tích này tốt hơn bất kỳ cầu thủ nào ở giải đấu trong thời gian vừa qua, thậm chí là tốt hơn của Lionel Messi.
Thủ quân của Los Blancos còn khẳng định tài sút penalty của mình khi hoàn tất 11 bàn thắng trên chấm phạt đền kể từ mùa 2018/19 đến nay.
Không có một cầu thủ nào ở La Liga có thể sánh kịp thành tích khi bàn từ chấm phạt đền của Ramos đang có.
Bàn thắng vừa qua còn cực kỳ quan trọng khi nó giúp Real giành ba điểm tại sân Di Stefano. Los Blancos giờ đã bỏ xa Barcelona trên BXH và có thể sẽ thẳng tiến đến danh hiệu vô địch La Liga nếu tiếp tục giữ được phong độ hiện tại.

NAMA Chris Smalling tengah menjadi rebutan antara Manchester United dan AS Roma. Pasalnya, Il Lupi belum menyanggupi harga yang diminta Setan Merah untuk mempermanenkan bek berkebangsaan Inggris itu. Apapun hasil akhirnya, Chris Smalling hampir pasti memboyong keluarga kecilnya, termasuk sang istri Sam Cooke.
Kendati bek berusia 30 tahun itu termasuk sering melakukan kesalahan, ternyata soal hubungan percintaan Chris Smalling cukup ahli. Ia mampu mencuri hati seorang Sam Cooke yang merupakan model papan atas Inggris ketika masih aktif.
Perempuan berusia 34 tahun itu dianugerahi wajah yang cantik dan tubuh sintal. Dua modal tersebut menjadikannya seorang model yang kerap menghiasi majalah-majalah dewasa ternama seperti FHM dan Maxim.
Tubuh seksinya pernah membawa Sam memenangi Page 3 Idol pada 2006. Sekadar informasi, Page 3 merujuk pada kebiasaan tabloid-tabloid Inggris dalam memasang foto perempuan dengan pose setengah telanjang alias topless pada halaman tiga.
With the title ever closer to being wrapped up, Juventus look to continue their run of Serie A dominance as they head to Milan on Tuesday night.
The Bianconeri are brimming with confidence following their destruction of rivals Torino in Saturday’s Derby della Mole, extending their lead to seven points atop Serie A.
Milan, meanwhile, handed Maurizio Sarri’s side a massive title boost, comfortably defeating second-placed Lazio by three goals to nil on Saturday night. The Rossoneri are enjoying their own good spell of form as they aim to solidify Europa League football next season.
When is Kick Off? Tuesday 7 July What Time is Kick Off? 20:45 (BST) Where is it Played? San Siro TV Channel/Live Stream? Premier Sports 1
Midfielder Samu Castillejo is doubtful ahead of Tuesday night’s clash having picked up a muscle injury in Saturday night’s win at Lazio. Hakan Calhanoglu was also replaced late in the game having received a knock, it is unlikely whether he will feature.
Defenders Mateo Musacchio and Leonardo Duarte are both out with long term injuries and will not feature.
The visitors will still be without a recognised left back with Alex Sandro and Mattea De Sciglio out of action. Blaise Matuidi and Danilo have been deployed as makeshift alternatives in recent matches.
Centre-backs Giorgio Chiellini and Merih Demiral are still recovering from long-term injuries and are unlikely to feature. Veteran midfielder Sami Khedira will also miss Tuesday night’s match with a thigh injury. Matthijs de Ligt and Paulo Dybala are suspended and will not feature.
Milan are unbeaten since their return to Serie A action. Having endured a minor blip, being held to a 2-2 draw at Spal on Wednesday, the Rossoneri bounced back superbly in their upset win at Lazio on Saturday night.
Stefano Pioli’s side are on an upward trajectory as they hunt down fifth placed Roma, a win on Tuesday could see them leapfrog their Europa League rivals.
Juventus are showing no signs of letting up in their ruthless pursuit of a ninth consecutive Serie A title. The Bianconeri have scored 11 goals in their last three league outings, much to the credit of Ronaldo and Dybala’s inspired run of form.
For all the scrutiny it has come under for failing to clinch cup silverware, Sarriball seems to be working a treat in the league.
Here’s how the two sides have fared in their last five outings.
Milan
Lazio 0-3 Milan (4/7)
Spal 2-2 Milan (1/7) Milan 2-0 Roma (28/6)
Lecce 1-4 Milan (22/6)
Juventus 0-0 Milan (12/6)
Juventus
Juventus 4-1 Torino (4/7)
Genoa 1-3 Juventus (30/6) Juventus 4-0 Lecce (26/6)
Bologna 0-2 Juventus (22/6)
Napoli 1-0 Juventus (17/6)
Milan’s conquering of Lazio in Rome came as a surprise, but highlights the vast improvement the club has made since the restart.
In the absence of Dybala and de Ligt, Juventus are without two vital players whose performances have been hugely responsible for their run of dominance.
Historically, this fixture has been a tight affair. Milan have proven to be a tough adversary for the champions this year; don’t be surprised to see the Rossoneri hold their own.
Manchester United hạ AFC Bournemouth 5-2 ở vòng 33 EPL để tiến vào top 4 | Pool/Getty Images
Manchester United đã vùi dập đối thủ Bournemouth đến 5-2 ở trận cầu tối 4/7 vừa qua để tiến vào top bốn Ngoại hạng Anh.
Ba điểm sẽ giúp cho Man United có thể tạm vượt Chelsea và góp mặt trong top dự cúp C1 mùa tới, và mọi thứ có vẻ thuận tiện khi họ tiếp đón Bournemouth tại sân nhà ở vòng 33 EPL.
Tuy nhiên, đội khách có bàn thắng từ sớm ở phút 15 với pha lập công của Junior Stanislas sau một pha xử lý đẳng cấp.
Nhưng đó cũng là đòn kích hoạt cơn thịnh nộ của Quỷ Đỏ. Man United ghi liên tiếp ba bàn chỉ trong hiệp một để ngược dòng dẫn lại 3-1.
Sang hiệp hai, ngay sau khi khởi đầu được năm phút thì Joshua King có bàn rút ngắn tỉ số xuống 2-3. Nhưng đó là tất cả những gì đội khách làm được.
MU có thêm hai bàn nữa nhờ công của Greenwood và Bruno Fernandes để ấn định tỉ số 5-2.
