A man has been charged with throwing a banana on to the pitch at the north London derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal on March 3.

He is charged with throwing a missile on to the playing area during the Premier League match at White Hart Lane, and using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour or disorderly behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
