The three pitch invaders who interrupted Tottenham Hotspur's recent Europa League win over Partizan Belgrade have been BANNED from all professional football grounds for three years.

Helder Gomes, 22, Nathaniel Thompson, 23, and Daniel Jarvis, 26, have been ordered to keep away from football grounds in England after their recent stunt at White Hart Lane.

All three men pleaded guilty at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court to a charge of going on to a playing field without a lawful excuse or authority.

The trio took it in turns to invade Spurs' clash with Partizan on three separate occasions during the first-half - before the match was temporarily suspended.

Ukrainian referee Yevhen Aranovsky took both teams off the pitch four minutes before half-time when he became bored with the repeated intrusions.

They spent the evening in police custody, while a group represented by the invaders took to social media to release a video appearing to gloat about the stunt.

European football's governing body subsequently opened disciplinary proceedings against the north London club, fining them £11,870 (€15,000).

The men must each pay £155 each and will be subject to football banning orders meaning they cannot attend games in England or Wales until 2018.
