Footage emerges showing what IShowSpeed did before being attacked at FA Cup final

Footage of YouTuber and live streamer IShowSpeed being attacked at the FA Cup final on Saturday went viral over the weekend as the Manchester United fan was attacked by a man in the stands.

The social media star was in attendance at Wembley cheering on United who went on to lose to local rivals Manchester City 2-1.

A brace from Ilkay Gundogan came either side of a controversial Bruno Fernandes penalty in the first-half, leading City to their second trophy of the season and keeping their treble hopes alive. Pep Guardiola's side now face Inter Milan in the Champions League final on Saturday.

The man who attempted to hit Speed was instantly dealt with by a member of his team, who was quick on the scene to defend the internet sensation.

But while the attack seemed to be unprovoked, new footage has since emerged showing what Speed did to aggravate the man in question.

It appears as though Speed was on the windup prior to kick-off, noticing that the man in front of him was supporting City.

"The guy in front is a Man City fan, I'm about to troll," the American said before going on to say: "We don't care about Man. City. It's Man. City. Manchester is red! Imagine being a Man. City fan."

After receiving no reaction, Speed told the camera, "he's not falling for the troll, I might have to go a little harder."

Suddenly, after a build-up of frustration with Speed's antics, the fan came over and knocked the phone out of the his hand.

This prompted Speed to get into a scuffle with the supporter, while his security were quick to intervene, wrestling the man to the ground.

Then, clearly shaken by the incident, he said: "Bro, what did you just do, bro? Why did he just f****** push me? Bro, why you put your hands on me? I didn't mean to touch you!"

The influencer has since come out and said: "Shoutout to the FA and my team for letting me come to the FA Cup final and enjoy myself. See my favourite club in England, Manchester United, play. But there was an incident that happened in the stream.

"I can't continue to stream because there's been an incident and I got contacted that I can't continue to stream. So guys, I love you all so much, let's hope that United win this game and I appreciate everybody who was on the stream."
