A Tottenham fan has pleaded guilty after attacking Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on January 15. Joseph Watts, 35, appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court after becoming involved in the altercation. The assault took place after the final whistle of the North London derby last month, which ended in a 2-0 win for Arsenal.
He had been watching the match in the stand behind Ramsdale’s goal in the second half.
After climbing the advertising hoardings surrounding the pitch, Watts kicked Ramsdale in the back as he bent down to pick up his water bottle.
Stewards pushed Watts away before he then fled back up into the stands covering his face.
Footage later showed Watts remove his jacket to avoid detection on his way out of the stadium. He was arrested and charged a few days later on Tuesday, January 17, after Tottenham assisted the Metropolitan Police with their enquiries.
