Richarlison Immediately Jumped In To Protect Son Heung-Min, Looked Ready To Scrap

​Richarlison​ and Cristian Romero immediately jumped to the defence of Son Heung-min​ after Gonzalo Montiel confronted him following a clash during their pre-season fixture. ​​

The friendly game between Tottenham and Sevilla burst into life when Son accidentally elbowed Montiel in the face, opening up a wound. 

The Sevilla player left the field with a mouth full of blood and didn't let the incident go away after the referee blew for half-time. 

He confronted Son, who shrugged him away. But before the Argentinean could react, he had Richarlison and Romero in his face. 

They came to Son's aid, with Spurs' new Brazilian star wasting no time to have his teammate's back.
