      The two Sky Sports pundits had been waiting for a lift at the top of the West Stand during the closing minutes of the match when the altercation broke out.
      Keane and Richards had been making their way from a studio down to the pitchside to give their post-match thoughts as part of Sky Sports’ coverage.
      The pair then tried to race back to the studio after Alejandro Garnacho scored what he thought to be United’s winner, before the goal was ruled out by VAR for an offside.

      Keane is then alleged to have been confronted by the man, before Richards stepped in and appeared to grab the fan by the collar.
      A witness told The Express that Richards was “acting like a bodyguard” for Keane, who was asking nearby staff to call police.
      They were eventually escorted down to the pitch, where they continued their broadcast alongside ex-Arsenal winger Theo Walcott and presenter Dave Jones.
      Keane and Richards seemed assured as they gave their thoughts on the game on Sky Sports’ Super Sunday coverage.
      The former United skipper even joked with Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice about how his late goal should have been deemed an own goal.
      A spokesperson for Sky Sports said: “We understand the police are investigating an alleged assault by a member of the public immediately preceding the footage circulating on social media.
      “In the footage seen, Micah Richards was acting to defuse a situation.”
      Arsenal are cooperating with authorities with the investigation underway.
      A club statement added: “We are aware of an incident that took place during our match against Manchester United on Sunday.
      “The Metropolitan Police is conducting an investigation into the matter and we are fully cooperating with their enquiries.”

      Arsenal ended up running out 3-1 winners thanks to injury time strikes from new-signing Rice and substitute Gabriel Jesus.
      Marcus Rashford had earlier given United the lead, before Martin Odegaard cancelled out his strike less than a minute later.

      However, Sainz, who was still in his Ferrari kit, chased them with members of the public, who saw the robbery take place.
      The Spanish driver managed to catch the robbers and recover the precious Richard Mille watch while police have now arrested two suspects.
      Britain’s Lando Norris had his £144,000 Richard Mille robbed from him after England’s Euro finals loss to Italy.
      But the young racer never got the watch back and a man was found not guilty of robbery.

      Sainz’s robbery attempt came after Max Verstappen made it ten wins in a row to set a new F1 record.
      Verstappen was held up for 15 laps by Sainz, who had taken pole the previous day for the Italian team in their home race.
      At first the Dutchman locked up as he tried to squeeze past the Spaniard’s Ferrari into turn one.
      But he got the move done four corners later to move into the lead and was untroubled to the end to open up a 145-point advantage in the championship over his teammate Sergio Perez.

      It was so comfortable, his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase labelled it “a stroll in the park” over the team’s radio.
      When quizzed about his landmark victory, Verstappen said: “I never would have believed that it was possible but we had to work for it today and that made it a lot more fun.
      “I was just trying to stay patient. I could see they [Ferrari] were struggling with rear tyres and I had to pick my moment.”

      Dramatic moment Aston Villa team bus is BRICKED as police release CCTV footage of attack

      by

      THIS is the dramatic moment Aston Villa’s team bus was BRICKED after their win over Burnley. Villa ran out 3-1 winners at Turf Moor to rise to seventh in the Premier League table.
      CCTV footage captured the moment Aston Villa’s team bus was bricked
      But their journey back home was dangerously interrupted when a brick was launched towards their team bus.
      Police have now released the CCTV footage in a bid to catch the yobs responsible.
      Supt Melita Worswick, of Lancashire Police, said: “This incident could have been so much worse and it is nothing but good luck that nobody was injured.
      “The coach driver could have been injured by the broken glass, causing him to swerve into another vehicle, or another vehicle could have been hit by the brick.

      “There could have been serious injuries or even fatalities. For this reason we are taking this incident extremely seriously.
      “We have now released CCTV footage from the coach and are asking anybody who recognises the two men on the left to get in touch.
      “We appreciate the footage of them is quite grainy, but one is wearing distinctive clothing and this may help somebody recognise them.
      “The area was busy when incident occurred, with bank holiday traffic and people leaving the area following the football match between Burnley and Aston Villa, and we believe there will be people out there who have not yet spoken to us, who either saw who was responsible or has dashcam showing the men more clearly.

      “Whatever information you have please get in touch.”
      The brick caused damage to the coach as it struck the windscreen but nobody was injured as a result of the brazen attack.

      A man was arrested in relation to the incident but has since been released no further action, having been found not to have been involved. More

      by

      TWO Premier League stars have had their flash luxury cars returned to them after the vehicles were found in shipping containers headed for Dubai.The supercars recovered by the Essex Police’s Stolen Vehicle Intelligence Unit were a Ferrari and a Range Rover.

      So far this year, the force’s team has recovered 517 cars or parts of vehicles with a combined value of more than £16million.
      The two players, who have not been identified but have more than 100 international caps between them, had their cars stolen in neighbouring counties.
      The SVIU’s PC Paul Gerrish, PC Phil Pentelow and analyst Hannah Gerrish, tracked down the vehicles to shipping containers which were due to travel to Dubai from London Gateway Port in Thurrock.
      As yet, no arrests have been made in connection to the vehicle thefts.

      It’s thought once a car is stolen, thieves may look to quickly sell it on, even for a price well below its market value, or strip it for parts or even ship the whole vehicle  to areas such as the Middle East or Africa, where it can be sold for two or three times its cost in the UK.
      The thieves or handlers of the stolen vehicles may obtain false or cloned identities before selling it on to an unsuspecting member of the public in the UK or even distribute them to other criminals.
      Essex Police launched Operation Ignition this summer which saw the SVIU, Roads Policing and investigators work together to break up the criminal gangs behind the thefts.
      The SVIU has managed to return vehicles to hundreds of victims from family saloons to supercars.
      Most read in Football
      PC Gerrish said: “Every stolen car is important to us and we work as hard as we can to get them back to their owners.
      “When you phone someone up and tell them we’ve got their car with their kids’ car seats and the pushchair in the back, or other personal items, it’s hugely satisfying.
      “We are creating a hostile environment for car thieves. We know what to look for and we know how and where they operate.”
      One of the Premier League footballers went to the SVIU base to be reunited with his car and praised the team’s work.
      PC Pentelow said: “He was genuinely thankful and taken aback by the lengths we had gone to.
      “His car was clearly very dear to him, and he was very impressed with the service he’d had from the police.
      “Even though he plays for one of my team’s biggest rivals, he was a nice guy and down-to-earth. It was good to help him.”
      The SVIU team work with manufacturers including Jaguar Land Rover, Ford, BMW and Mercedes-Benz to improve vehicle security.
      The team recommends drivers learn about their car’s vulnerabilities by watching videos online and check the website Secured by Design to find recommended safety devices for your car and think about getting a Disklok.
      However, they say the biggest vulnerability is people leaving their vehicles unlocked.
      PC Pentelow said: “Double lock it and check it. We still see CCTV where people’s cars aren’t locked.”
      In July this year, the Essex Police’s SVIU team recovered cars and car parts worth £1m, in one of their most successful weeks ever.
      The unit recovered high-end cars including a Rolls-Royce, a Bentley Bentayga, alongside several Range Rovers and BMWs.

      In recent months they have located and recovered a range of Ferraris and Aston Martins.
      A Rolls-Royce Cullinan recovered during recent operations was worth more than £360,000 alone.
