FURIOUS Tottenham stars Cristian Romero and Emerson Royal had to be separated at half-time of Sunday’s clash at Liverpool.

The incredible scenes came as Spurs trailed their hosts 2-0 at Anfield.

Goals from Mo Salah and Andy Robertson put Liverpool in total control on Merseyside.

And tempers spilled over between Romero and Emerson as they made their way off the pitch for the break.

The two defenders began barking at each other following Tottenham’s lapses at the back.

Their shouting starting to escalate as Micky van de Ven watched on with a concerned look.

But goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario came to the rescue as he broke the pair up.

The Italian got between Emerson and Romero before wrapping an arm around the latter and pulling him away.
