Arsenal-Manchester United spectator invades pitch after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang penalty

A spectator invaded the Emirates Stadium pitch after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s penalty during Arsenal’s win over Manchester United at the Emirates on Sunday.

The incident, which did not appear to involve any intent of violence, happened shortly after Aubameyang scored a spot-kick in the 69th minute to give Arsenal a 2-0 lead.

The man ran with his arms aloft towards the celebrating Arsenal players, before he was later removed from the pitch by stewards.

Arsenal went on to win the match 2-0 as Unai Emery’s side inflicted the first league defeat of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s United tenure.

Earlier on Sunday, Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish was the victim of an unprovoked attack by a pitch invader during the Second City derby at Birmingham’s St Andrew’s, with a 27-year-old man later arrested by West Midlands Police.
