PSV EINDHOVEN have slapped the fan who attacked Sevilla goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic with a 40-YEAR stadium ban, reports suggest.
Dmitrovic was assaulted last month during the Europa League play-offs’ second-leg between the Spanish giants and PSV at the Philips Stadion.
The pitch invader approached the Serbia international in the dying minutes of the match and punched him in the face.
However, the ex-Charlton keeper managed to wrestle the yob to the ground.
That allowed stewards to race to the pitch and apprehend the thug before dragging him out.
PSV didn’t show any favour as they handed the 20-year-old man a 40-year ban, which means he will not enter their ground again until he is 60 years old.

The Eredivisie giants will also look to recover financial damages from him.
The invader, who was already serving a national stadium ban and should not have been in the ground, was also given a three-month prison sentence.
He was also banned from the area around the Philips Stadium for two years.
He entered the stadium using a ticket bought by a friend and is still serving a national ban until 2026 imposed by the Dutch football association.

Sevilla lost that match 2-0 but went through to the Last-16 with a 3-2 score on aggregate.
The Europa League’s most successful team is now set to take on Manchester United in the quarter-finals.
If Sevilla make it through then they will face either Juventus or Sporting Lisbon, who eliminated Arsenal in the Round of 16.
