Aston Villa goalkeeper Olsen slams 'Man City idiots who attacked me'

Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen has hit out at Manchester City fans after he was attacked yesterday on the Etihad stadium pitch.

City's 3-2 win saw them confirmed Premier League champions and sparked a pitch invasion at the final whistle.

Olsen found himself being attacked by several City fans as he raced to the players' tunnel.

This morning, Olsen wrote on social media: "The idiots who attacked me are not going to ruin my mood after today's match.

"I got the opportunity to make my debut for this fantastic club, and we were close to getting a good result against a difficult opponent."
