Arsene Wenger Offered Pie by Pitch Invader During Nottingham Forest vs. Arsenal

Rory MarsdenSep 21, 2016

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was offered a pie by a pitch-invading fan as the Gunners claimed an emphatic 4-0 EFL Cup win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Tuesday.

With the hosts having gone 1-0 down to Granit Xhaka's strike midway through the first half, a supporter leapt the advertising hoardings and approached Wenger in the dugout proffering a pie in a takeout tray, per TalkSport's James Dodd:

According to The Independent's Mark Critchley, the French manager was given little opportunity to accept or reject the kind offer of matchday sustenance, as the fan was first held back by a member of Arsenal's backroom staff and then led from the pitch by security personnel.

Per Dodd, the pie was left uneaten pitch-side:

Following the brief interruption, Wenger saw new signing Lucas Perez add a second-half double before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored a late fourth to see Arsenal easily through to the fourth round of the EFL Cup.
