Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler is engulfed in 'racism' storm as he comes under fire for claiming Son Heung-min performed 'martial arts' after fouling Cody Gakpo

Football fans have criticised Martin Tyler for a comment he made during Liverpool's 4-3 win against Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday, which some supporters have claimed was 'racist'.

The comment in question was said as South Korean forward, Son Heung-min, fouled Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo.

Son, who scored Tottenham's second goal during the match, pulled Gakpo away from the ball as the Liverpool player advanced up field with the football.

Tyler was overheard on commentary likening Son's defence to 'martial arts'.

Some football fans fans took to Twitter to criticise the comments.
