Arsenal confirm a fan is arrested after shining a LASER into Mykhailo Mudryk's face during 3-1 win over rivals Chelsea - but Ukrainian insists 'it's OK' despite Gunners condemning 'dangerous and unacceptable act'

An Arsenal fan has been arrested after Mykhailo Mudryk had a laser shone in his eyes during the Gunners' 3-1 victory over Chelsea on Monday.

The winger was named amongst the substitutes, with Frank Lampard turning to him from the bench as his side fell to a sixth consecutive defeat.

Mudryk, a former target for Arsenal in the Janaury transfer window, impressed with his direct running at Mikel Arteta's defence but was targeted by a laser throughout the match.

Now, an Arsenal fan has been arrested for shining this in the face of the Ukraine international, the club confirmed.
