Breaking – Man admits assault on Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale
A man has admitted attacking Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale following the north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur last month.
Ramsdale, 24, was kicked in the back shortly after the Gunners beat Tottenham 2-0 in a Premier League match on January 15.
Joseph Watts, 35, pleaded guilty at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court to assault by beating, going on to an area adjacent to the playing area and throwing a missile on to a football playing area.
He also threw four coins towards the pitch.
Watts, of Dalston in Hackney, east London, appeared in person to confirm his name, age and address before entering the pleas.
