A football supporter has been arrested on suspicion of assault after allegedly spitting at a steward during Leicester’s Premier League match with Tottenham on Wednesday night.
The north London club looked destined to suffer a 2-1 defeat before two goals from Steven Bergwijn sealed all three points in the most dramatic fashion.
The substitute scored a double in stoppage time to send the away end into pandemonium as victory saw their side move to within one point of the Champions League places.
However the top-flight clash has been overshadowed by the news a supporter was arrested at the King Power Stadium.
“A 22-year-old man from Bedfordshire has been arrested on suspicion of assault. He will remain in police custody,” a Leicestershire Police spokeswoman said.

“See you Sunday to do it all over again…”
A Leicester fan responded to the news saying they saw supporters from the visiting side ‘trampling’ on a steward ‘laying on the floor’.
Their reply read: “Horrible scenes from away fans trampling some poor steward laying on the floor, shame on them, big fines for the club I hope.”
