Richarlison ignored his Brazil team-mate Gabriel Martinelli during the North London derby on Sunday, new footage has revealed.
Arsenal put in a dominant performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, winning 2-0 after an own goal from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and a long-range effort from captain Martin Odegaard.
And video released on social media shows Gunners winger Martinelli extending a fist-bump to Spurs forward Richarlison - before the latter blanks him completely.

Visitors Arsenal won 2-0 thanks to an own goal from Hugo Lloris and a Martin Odegaard finish
Martinelli, 21, walks over to the corner flag to take a corner, sees his Selecao team-mate and offers his hand in a gesture of respect to Richarlison, who at that point was warming up as a substitute in the vicinity at the side of the pitch.
With former Everton star Richarlison remaining steadfastly with his hands by his side, a presumably disappointed Martinelli leaves his hand there for a few seconds before proceeding to take the corner kick.
After the match, Richarlison admitted in an interview - translated by a social media user - that he did so because he believed the Gunners wideman was 'diving a lot'.

After the match, Richarlison apologised and claimed it was because Martinelli was 'diving a lot'
He said: 'I'd like to apologise to Martinelli, I told him he was diving a lot, so I didn't shake his hand. Also with Gabriel Magalhaes I told him they were stopping play all the time, I just said, 'let's play'.
'What I really didn't like was their goalkeeper. He was celebrating in front of our fans, that's a disrespect to our fans.
'He should have celebrated with their fans,' he added, despite his own history of diving accusations and showboating while winning.

He shoved Ramsdale before a Spurs fan tried to kick him in the back in disgraceful scenes
After a fiery match, Richarlison ignited tensions by shoving goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale before Ramsdale was kicked by a fan in disgraceful scenes.
Tottenham are set for an FA and police probe over the fan's actions, with the club vowing a stadium ban and 'the strongest possible action' to be taken against the culprit.
Richarlison's actions saw him branded 'the biggest baby in the league' by fans on social media, with a separate video showing him shoving away the hand of Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu.
