Aston Villa goalkeeper breaks silence on attack by Man City fans during pitch invasion

Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen has claimed those fans who attacked him "will not destroy his emotions" after he was targeted during a pitch invasion.

The shotstopper was being escorted off the pitch by a steward as supporters ran onto the pitch at full-time at the Etihad. However he was still the subject of an attack - something that has become a worrying trend in recent weeks at stadiums up and down the country.

Olsen was making his debut for Villa with first choice keeper Emi Martinez out injured. He had kept City out for more than 70 minutes as the visitors took a shock 2-0 lead thanks to Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho. However three goals in five minutes for Manchester City turned the game around.
