Tottenham teammates nearly come to blows at halftime of Everton game

Tottenham Hotspur entered halftime of Monday's Premier League fixture versus Everton up 1-0 after a Giovani Lo Celso attempt on goal deflected off Michael Keane and rolled into the back of the net in the 24th minute.

One couldn't have guessed the score upon seeing an altercation between Tottenham goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris and attacker Son Heung-Min.

Cameras caught Lloris berating Son in the closing seconds of the match's opening half and then as the players entered the tunnel. Lo Celso, Harry Winks, and other teammates separated the two as they walked toward the dressing room:

Pundits such as Robbie Earle of NBC Sports speculated that Lloris was angered by Son failing to track back in defense for Everton's final attacking sequence of the half. Manager Jose Mourinho has recently dropped Son in defense during contests.

Lloris and Son hugged things out before returning to the pitch:

For what it's worth, infighting benefited the Cleveland Indians in "Major League II." Perhaps this is the spark Tottenham need as they attempt to remain in the top 10 of the league table.
