A FOOTBALL fan has been charged with allegedly headbutting Roy Keane after a fight erupted during an Arsenal vs Man Utd match.
Scott Law is accused of attacking the Utd hardman when he cheered a goal from his former club at the Emirates.
The 43-year-old has been charged with common assault and is due to appear at Highbury Magistrates’ Court on March 14.
Law, who is married with children, allegedly went for Keane on September 3 last year.
Keane and fellow Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards were waiting by a lift at the North London stadium when the incident unfolded.
The Utd legend had celebrated a last-minute goal from Alejandro Garnacho, which was later ruled off-side.

Both pundits were reportedly left shaken following the alleged attack.
Witnesses also claimed blood was left splattered on the ground of the West Stand of the Gunners’ home-ground.
The pair were eventually escorted down to the pitch, where they gave their thoughts post-match with ex-Arsenal winger Theo Walcott and presenter Dave Jones.
