A football fan accused of headbutting former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane in an alleged assault at Arsenal’s stadium claims he was acting in self-defence, a court has heard. Scott Law, from Waltham Abbey in Essex, has been charged with assault by beating at the Emirates Stadium on September 3 last year, at the end of Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United.
It is said he assaulted Keane, who was working as a TV pundit, after the match, in an incident that was partly caught on camera.
