But as he celebrated netting his first goal from the spot in front of the Spurs fans, the banana skin was launched in his direction.

A steward immediately identified the alleged culprit and police went into the visiting fans to arrest him for throwing an object onto the pitch.

It is not known if the incident was connected to racism.

But a Spurs spokesman said: “Behaviour such as this is completely unacceptable and the supporter in question will be issued with a ban.”
