Parlour hints that Tottenham star Son was lucky to avoid red for ‘elbow’ on Arsenal man

Ray Parlour thinks Son Heung-min elbowed Rob Holding in the face during the north London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal on Thursday night.

However, it was Holding who was sent off in the 3-0 win for Spurs with the Gunners defender seeing red after only 33 minutes.

Harry Kane scored twice before Son added another shortly after the break in a comfortable win for Antonio Conte’s side, which was made easier by Holding’s decision to use his arm to block off Son in the face, as he picked up his second booking of the game.

Imagine how good Spurs would be if Son was as good as title-worthy Kane

One of the opening exchanges between Son and Holding saw the Arsenal defender haul the Tottenham forward to the floor. Holding continued to pull Son to ground when they were on the floor and the South Korean’s arm connected with Holding’s face as he tried to get up.

That incident was in the 11th minute and Parlour has
