    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    During Spurs' celebrations for the second goal, Bodo/Glimt defender Jostein Gundersen voiced his anger for doing so in front of his team's supporters, leading to a back-and-forth with Argentine defender Romero.

  • WHAT GUNDERSEN SAID

    "I feel like they are trying to annoy us. I didn't like that. That's how football is. After the game there was a 'handshake' and a good atmosphere," Gundersen told TV 2. "[Romero] first started with some comments to me, and then I responded. He said something like: 'You guys shouldn't talk so much'. It was in the heat of the match. Then we put it behind us."

    Asked what the referee said to them, he added: "The referee said we shouldn't argue and that we had to calm down. He didn't want anything like that. If we went to each other, we would get a card."
