A hooligan who threw an object at Manchester United forward Antony Elanga pleaded guilty to charges of assault and was fined and banned for life from Leeds United matches.
The man, 21, threw a vape at the Swedish International during a game Leeds United lost against arch-rivals United at Elland Road on February 20. He pleaded guilty to assault at Leeds Magistrates Court on September 16 and was fined £400.
The unnamed hooligan was also banned from attending football games for five years, and he received a lifetime ban from Elland Road. The thug is part of a group of six fans who were identified after West Yorkshire Police issued an appeal following the heated encounter, which was marred by violent scenes.
