Spurs fans appear to 'protect' Aaron Ramsdale attacker in shocking new footage

Tottenham Hotspur supporters appeared to protect the man who kicked Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale at the end of Sunday's north London derby.

Sky Sports cameras picked up the incident during their coverage, although what happened to the fan afterwards was unknown.

The man in question made his way into the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium crowd and his identity is yet to be established.

New footage from the incident has since been released, which shows two individuals standing in front of him as he hides from security.

As the ground begins to empty, he makes his way out undetected after giving his coat and scarf to a friend. Spurs have vowed to ban the fan, while the Metropolitan police confirmed it had received a report of an assault.

Check out the new footage below.

Ramsdale was named Player of the Match after making several vital saves in the second half. He exchanged words with Spurs striker Richarlison, who is always keen to get involved.

The 24-year-old addressed being kicked by the supporter, who luckily didn't make much contact.

"The few people I did do that to was well greeted [by them] and sportsmanship-like and then I’ve had someone jump over and give me a [kick] on the back. It’s a shame as it’s just a game of football.

"Both sets of players had to bring me away. Thankfully, nothing drastic happened, and it’s a sour taste. I’m sure we’ll enjoy it when we go back to the dressing room."
