An Arsenal fan has reportedly been hit with a three-year football banning order and £250 fine for throwing a banana at Tottenham Hotspur star Gareth Bale.
Enfield resident Thomas Flint was accused of launching the piece of fruit towards the Wales international during Spurs' 2-1 victory over the Gunners in March.
The 23-year-old admitted to throwing a missile and using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour during that match at a hearing in Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court.
Flint was given a three-year ban, a £250 fine and ordered to pay £85 in costs, as well as a £25 victim surcharge, according to the Northern Echo.
The court heard that the Gunners fan regularly attended matches.
