Tonali loses his head in a friendly: sparks and shoving during Tottenham v Getafe

Moment of irritation for the Italian midfielder in a friendly.

Flashpoints were never far away in the friendly between Tottenham and Getafe, which ended 1-1. Sandro Tonali took centre stage for the wrong reasons after getting involved in a heated clash with Spanish midfielder Mario Martín.

Following a challenge, the Italian midfielder reacted furiously, shoving his opponent several times. The outburst instantly sparked tempers on the pitch and forced team-mates to step in before it could boil over.

On the pitch, the match finished 1-1. Getafe went ahead in the 66th minute through Alberto Risco, before Tottenham hit back just four minutes later through Conor Gallagher.

For long spells Spurs controlled the game, but Getafe stood firm through disciplined defending and an excellent display in goal. The result, though, was overshadowed by the incident involving Tonali, who showed clear signs of nerves.
