Fan slips up with his banana peel

-

London – A football fan has been arrested after a banana skin was thrown onto the pitch at the Emirates as Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang celebrated scoring a penalty in front of Tottenham fans.

The Gunners won a memorable match 4-2 on Sunday and London’s Metropolit­an Police afterwards confirmed there were seven arrests made.

One of those arrests came after a banana skin was hurled from the away end as Aubameyang celebrated scoring in front of the Tottenham fans.

“Behaviour such as this is completely unacceptab­le and the supporter in question will be issued with a ban,” a Tottenham spokesman said.

There were also six arrests for public order offences – at least two of which are believed to be Arsenal fans who lit smoke canisters. –
