It’s been a fiery first half in Sunday’s north London derby.
Tempers have flared on a few occasions but none more so than after Jurrien Timber’s reckless challenge on Pedro Porro.
The foul from the Dutchman resulted in a 20-man brawl with VAR being consulted to see if the challenge was worth a red.

The referee issued a yellow card to Timber for a challenge on Porro. VAR checked for a potential red card and confirmed the referee’s call of no red card, deeming this was a reckless challenge and not serious foul play.

But the video assistant decided to stick with the referee’s original decision and go with a yellow.
What do you think? Should it have been a sending off?
