Arsenal have been charged by the Football Association after a fan ran on the pitch and confronted Manchester United defender Chris Smalling during Sunday’s Premier League match at Emirates Stadium.
The spectator entered the field to join in with the Gunners players’ celebrations after Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang converted a second-half penalty, shoving Smalling as he ran past him.
Arsenal have until Friday, March 22 to respond to the charge, which relates to breaches of FA Rules E20(a) and (b).
A statement issued by the FA read: “It is alleged the club failed to ensure that its spectator[s] conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and refrained from encroaching onto the pitch during the Premier League fixture against Manchester United on Sunday.”
