Arrest made after attack on Tottenham keeper Archer

A teenager has been arrested after Wycombe Wanderers goalkeeper Jordan Archer was attacked in the closing stages of his side's 1-0 League Two win over Gillingham on Monday night.

Archer, on loan from Tottenham, was placing the ball prior to taking a goal kick when the supporter entered the field and leapt towards him at the Priestfield Stadium.

The fan was quickly apprehended by a steward and led away.

Kent Police said on Tuesday morning: "A 17-year-old was arrested on suspicion of assault and is currently in custody following an incident in the 93rd minute of the Gillingham v Wycombe match last night."
