Nuno Espirito Santo’s post-match interview following Tottenham’s derby defeat last Sunday was abandoned when he was repeatedly called a c*** by Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium.
Sky Sports producers took a quick decision that, given the volume of the abuse, they could not risk letting such language be broadcast, giving Nuno permission to return down the tunnel before coming back to complete his interview after supporters had cleared the stadium.
Nuno’s Arsenal debacle led to the Premier League moving post-match interviews from pitchside from this weekend, although the return of indoor interview rooms will be limited to whichever channel is broadcasting the match live — much to the annoyance of other TV and radio stations.
