Arsenal Fan Arrested for Throwing Red Wine at Manchester United Bench
All is not well at Arsenal at the moment, and one of the club's fans clearly lost their temper during the Gunners' 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday.ย
According to The Guardian, the fan was arrested for throwing red wine in the direction of the Manchester United bench.
Cue plenty of "sour grapes" puns.ย
As per the report in The Guardian:
"The flashpoint took place as United celebrated the opening goal of their 2-1 leadย and led to an angry exchange between some of the clubโs substitutes and fans in the seats behind them.
Arsenal moved to identify the culprit, calling on the stewards in attendance and the CCTV footage, and they have promised to liaise with the Metropolitan Police and ban any individual whose guilt is proven. The club take a hard line against antisocial behaviour. The wine splashed some of the United personnel who were understandably not happy.
