Roy Keane was allegedly assaulted by a fan during Arsenal\u2019s win over Manchester United on Sunday, with Sky Sports colleague Micah Richards stepping in to diffuse the situation.<\/p>\n
Footage circulated on social media of Richards confronting a man at Emirates Stadium, with Keane behind him and reports suggest that it was in the immediate aftermath of a physical altercation.<\/p>\n
The Daily Mail report that Keane was confronted by a man in the West Stand at Arsenal\u2019s ground and was allegedly headbutted in the chin and chest, without serious damage being done.<\/p>\n
Richards then attempted to calm the situation down, as confirmed by a statement from Sky.<\/p>\n
The statement relayed to Mail Sport read: \u2018We understand the police are investigating an alleged assault by a member of the public immediately preceding the footage circulating on social media.<\/p>\n
\u2018In the footage seen, Micah Richards was acting to diffuse a situation.\u2019<\/p>\n

There was plenty of drama on the pitch as well, with injury time goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus securing a 3-1 win for Arsenal over the Red Devils.<\/p>\n
Marcus Rashford had put United ahead in the first half before a Martin Odegaard equaliser almost immediately afterwards.<\/p>\n

Arsenal were awarded a penalty in the second half when Aaron Wan-Bissaka was adjudged to have fouled Kai Havertz, but it was rescinded thanks to VAR.<\/p>\n
Manchester United also thought they had won the match through an Alejandro Garnacho goal shortly before the 90th minute, but it was ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n
