What happens on the playing field is often influenced by the heat of the game. This weekend, in the match between Tottenham and Middlesbrough for the Premier League, Victor Valdes showed a bad gesture by hitting Dele Alli.
It was the 11th minute of the match, with the score still 0-0, and the English player annoyed the Spanish goalkeeper. In response, Valdes decided to slap him twice in the face, which the recipient didn't feel with much pain.
The action amounted to nothing, as neither of the players was cautioned. The referee turned a blind eye and the former Barcelona goalkeeper escaped an expulsion that could have harmed his team.
The match ended with a victory for the 'Spurs' thanks to a goal from Harry Kane. The English forward, from a penalty, defeated Valdes and scored the only goal of the match, keeping his team in second place in the Premier League.
They're tired: Arsenal fans are screaming for Wenger and Özil to leave.
