Tottenham Fan Arrested for Kicking Arsenal's Aaron Ramsdale After North London Derby

A man has been arrested after allegedly kicking Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale following the club's 2-0 victory over Tottenham in the North London derby on Sunday, the Metropolitan Police confirmed, per Sky Sports.

Joseph Watts, 35, was charged on Tuesday with "assault by beating, going on to an area adjacent to a playing area and throwing a missile on to a football playing area." He is due to appear at Highbury Magistrates' Court on Feb. 17.

Ramsdale got into an altercation with Tottenham forward Richarlison shortly after the match. When Ramsdale walked away from Richarlison and behind the goal to pick up his water bottle, a fan climbed over the barrier and onto the advertising boards, where he then kicked the goalkeeper.
