Martin Odegaard and Co won 2-0 – producing an excellent performance on the pitch, despite all hell breaking loose off it.

In a video shared by Twitter account Away Day Sleepers, an Arsenal supporter could be seen high up in the Milburn Stand.

Having seemingly just been discovered by nearby Toon fans, the man could be seen being wrestled to the ground.

As stewards approached, the Arsenal fan got back to his feet, and appeared to be told to “get out” by furious home supporters.

Just moments later, and with young children in the vicinity, the fan could then be seen appearing to engage in a fierce confrontation with Toon fans, before being wrestled down again from behind.

Throughout the incident, a child can seemingly be heard shouting “dad” repeatedly.

Twitter account Newcastle United FC Fans, who appeared to originally post the clip, alleged that the Arsenal supporter had “thrown bottles around” while goading the home crowd.

They tweeted: “The bairns who witnessed this, an Arsenal supporter in the nufc family stand, have been left traumatised.

“The Arsenal fan was a disgrace and throwing bottles around.”

They then added: “He was winding home fans up and celebrating. One young boy has said he’s not going back.”

Other supporters online questioned why stewards weren’t on the scene more quickly.

One wrote: “What worries me, is the fact that it’s not dealt with quickly by the stewards. I’ve said this for a long time, but some of them working at SJP are only, let’s say very young. Can they control disruption and certain problems that occur?”

Another replied: “I’ve said the same. I look at the stewards and think “really?” Some are too busy trying to watch the match, some look like they would c*** themselves if any trouble.”

In a further clip circulating on social media, the fan can be seen being escorted towards the concourse by Newcastle supporters, rather than stewards.
