Amid celebrations of Arsenal’s second goal, a fan made his way onto the pitch and approached Chris Smalling before heading to the Arsenal players. The incident happened shortly after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had converted a 69th-minute penalty to give the Gunners a 2-0 lead against United. After pushing Smalling, the man ran with his arms towards the Gunners players celebrating their goal. Smalling was unhurt and the man was arrested after he was taken off the pitch. https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1104806145347198977 An Arsenal spokesperson said: "We utterly condemn the behavior of the individual who ran on to the pitch and approached Chris Smalling during today's match.
