Football Digest: Arsenal defeat Man Utd 3-1<\/h3>\n

Roy Keane reportedly wound up Arsenal fans on Sunday before being targeted by an alleged headbutt at the Emirates Stadium. A video circulating on social media showed the aftermath of the incident, which saw former Premier League star Micah Richards jump in to try and diffuse the situation.<\/p>\n

Keane and Richards were both on Sky Sports punditry duties for Arsenal’s win over Manchester United. Before the Gunners’ two late goals, a finish from Alejandro Garnacho looked to have won the game for the Red Devils, supposedly sparking celebrations from Keane before the goal was ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n

An Arsenal fan is then reported to have aimed a headbutt at the former Republic of Ireland international. The impact hit Keane in the shoulder, breaking the supporter’s nose which left blood all over the floor, according to eyewitnesses.<\/p>\n

Richards jumped in to separate the pair, as Keane was left unhurt but ‘shaken’. The fan was arrested before being bailed on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

According to The Sun, the lead-up to the scuffle saw Keane ‘provoking’ Arsenal fans when Garnacho scored the winner that was not to be. Friends of the fan said that the former United midfielder ‘hurled abuse’ at supporters below.<\/p>\n

The Gunners eventually had the last laugh as late goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus decided the game. Sky Sports is set to review security measures for its presenters over the next few months.<\/p>\n

Former Manchester City ace Richards, who was in the thick of the action, was unable to provide extra detail on the altercation when quizzed by Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer on The Rest is Football podcast earlier this week.<\/p>\n

“Oh my word, Gary, I’m not allowed to talk about it,” said the 35-year-old. “But when I am allowed to talk about it, The Rest is Football will get it first.”<\/p>\n

Keane has since been pictured near his family home in Cheshire, although he refused to comment on the incident and covered his face with a jumper.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Arsenal are understood to have identified the alleged culprit through electronic ticket purchases before handing his details to the authorities. “We are aware of an incident that took place during our match against Manchester United on Sunday,” read an official statement released by the Gunners.<\/p>\n

“The Metropolitan Police is conducting an investigation into the matter and we are fully cooperating with their inquiries.”<\/p>\n
