Tottenham and West Ham's Premier League match was interrupted
when a fan ran on to take a free-kick for Spurs.
The fan ran on to the pitch and made a break for the players down
at West Ham's end. Stewards attempted to tackle the invader but
they failed to reach him before he could leave his mark on
proceedings.
Christian Eriksen was primed to take a free-kick on the edge of the
box but the fan, with stewards trailing behind him, hoofed the ball
over the wall and into the stands. Connection: After put-pacing the stewards the fan makes a decent
connection with the ball
Eriksen then raised his hands over his head - it was unclear
whether it was a reaction to the fan's narrow miss, or the fact that
he had disrupted the game.
After a small celebration, the pitch invader was bundled to the
ground by stewards and taken away.
Scotland Yard have confirmed that the fan has been arrested and
is being held at a police station in East London.
Tottenham eventually won the game 1-0, but it could have gone
either way. Kyle Naughton was sent off for blocking a shot with his
hands but Sam Allardyce's men failed to make Spurs pay as Mark
Noble fired the subsequent penalty wide.
James Collins then saw red for a second bookable offence. And
this time Spurs took advantage.
New signing Eric Dier popped up with a late winner to round off a
memorable derby in east London. Source: dailymail |
