Metropolitan Police confirmed on Thursday that a 19-year-old man had been arrested after allegedly abusing Manchester United star Mason Mount when Ruben Amorim's men travelled to Tottenham last weekend.

The former Chelsea star received a welcome to be expected from the supporters of his former derby rivals on Saturday afternoon when he was brought on for Matheus Cunha in the 72nd minute.

But as per a statement from the force, one member of the crowd was forcibly removed after he allegedly targeted the midfielder with specific vile abuse.
