AN IRATE fan stormed the pitch and verbally assaulted Arsene Wenger during Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat away to Southampton yesterday.

Saido Mane and Dusan Tadic capitalised on Wojciech Szczesny’s mistakes to open up the gap between the two sides to three points but the match turned ugly when the fan seemed to evade stewards and security with ease and approach the dugout.

Assistant manager Steve Bould waved the invader away and security finally showed up to escort him off the pitch.
