A man has been charged after he ran on to the pitch and took a free kick during Tottenham's 1-0 Premier League win at West Ham, British police announced yesterday.
Jordan Dunn, 22, from Dover, southeast England, is accused under Section 4 of Britain's Football Offences Act 1991, which forbidspeople from going on to the pitch.
The fan ran across the field during the second half as Tottenham's Christian Eriksen was preparing to take a free kick just outside the West Ham area. He ran up to the ball and lofted a shot that went over the wall and was heading into the net before goalkeeper Adrian comfortably plucked it out of the air.
The fan kept running, leaving the field with a steward close behind.
It turns out his effort was actually better than Eriksen's, who sent his shot over the bar.
