Cameras caught Bukayo Saka\u2019s instant reaction to Declan Rice telling him that Tottenham fans had taunted the former West Ham captain\u2019s partner during the North London Derby. <\/p>\n

The rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham<\/a> is very fierce, and things got heated in N17 on Sunday afternoon during matchday 27\u2019s North London Derby<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s history-making 4-1 win away to Spurs<\/a> saw the Gunners leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with beaming smiles, but what happened during the 90 minutes left some feeling uncomfortable. <\/p>\n

During the game, a Spurs fan taunted Rice\u2019s<\/a> partner when the Arsenal<\/a> star went to take a corner, something that clearly hurt the 27-year-old and alarmed Bukayo Saka<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude02 Who is the biggest wind-up merchant in the Arsenal squad? Surely it has to be Gabriel Magalhaes? <\/p>\n

Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka\u2019s reaction to Tottenham fans taunting the Arsenal midfielder\u2019s partner<\/p>\n

Footage went viral on social media as a Spurs supporter situated by the corner flag held up a photo of Rice\u2019s partner in an attempt to taunt the Arsenal midfielder. <\/p>\n

The Englishman\u2019s long-term partner has been inexplicably talked about on social media for some time, and Tottenham fans hit a new low with their attempted ridicule on Sunday afternoon. <\/p>\n

Rice handled the situation well, but it got to the Arsenal star, as was picked up on beIN Sports coverage of the game, which saw the midfielder inform Saka and Albert Stuivenberg of what happened. <\/p>\n

As posted by DailyAFC on X<\/a>, Rice appeared to tell Saka and Stuivenberg, \u201cWhen I went to take a corner, they were showing it, so obviously I was angry.\u201d <\/p>\n

BeIN Sports\u2019 footage showed Saka\u2019s face change upon hearing what happened, going from laughing with his teammate to being in a visible state of shock. <\/p>\n

Rivalries are part of the game, but a line must be drawn, particularly with family members being thrown into the cauldron. <\/p>\n

The Spurs fan who made the outrageous decision to taunt Rice in such a way has not received the feedback he might\u2019ve thought. <\/p>\n

On X, a large selection of Tottenham supporters have reacted to the footage and are completely against what unfolded. <\/p>\n

What would your message to Declan Rice be after Spurs fans taunted his partner? <\/p>\n

\u201cI hate Arsenal like every Spurs fan, but this fella in the stands doesn\u2019t represent us,\u201d one fan said. <\/p>\n

Another added, \u201cScummiest behaviour in sports,\u201d with a fellow supporter writing, \u201cThere are some lines that should never be crossed!\u201d <\/p>\n

One Spurs fan even called for the perpetrator to be named and shamed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhoever that idiot fan was needs to be named and shamed. There\u2019s no need for pathetic immature things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Rice, football won on that occasion, but it was an utterly abysmal moment for the midfielder to have to deal with. <\/p>\n
