Dermot Gallagher: 'Son Heung-min didn't dive to win penalty for Spurs'

Former Premier League official Dermot Gallagher claims that Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min did not dive to win a penalty for his side against Arsenal.

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has said that Son Heung-min did not dive to win a penalty for Tottenham Hotspur against Arsenal.

Spurs had just equalised in the North London derby when the referee gave the visitors a spot kick for a foul on Son inside the area.

Replays suggested that no contact was made with the South Korea international, and while Gallagher acknowledges that a penalty should not have been given, the ex-official has defended the forward.

Gallagher told Sky Sports News: "I can understand why the referee gave it, but I don't think it's a penalty.

"If it's felt he has gained an advantage by going to ground unnecessarily then it can go before the FA's three-man 'deception panel' and they have to vote 3-0 and he could be suspended.

"I don't think it's a dive, I think he's tried to avoid the contact, checked back and then gone over. I don't think Son has dived so I don't think it will get processed."

Harry Kane scored the resulting penalty, but Arsenal fought back to claim a 4-2 victory at the Emirates Stadium.
