Mathieu Flamini gave fans a reason to never forget the Capital One Cup third round fixture, having scored an unlikely brace, but the fans have framed reasons to always remember the epic night, albeit bad.

A handful of Gunners faithfuls were seen tearing down hoardings at the White Hart Lane to celebrate victory over their fiercest rivals. In addition, they also indulged in jostles with the home supporters and were subsequently arrested on charges of public order, criminal damage and assault, according to Metropolitan Police officers.

English tabloid Mail reports that the Community Shield holders may not have to face the wrath of Football Association as clubs hardly get chastised for the misdemeanours of their fans, but it is murmured that the notorious fans, if correctly identified amongst the 3000 that made it, could even face lifetime bans.

Even though the chances of Arsenal facing punishments are slim, an Arsenal spokesperson expressed the concerns of the club and added that they would assist the police in identifying the culprits alongside Tottenham Hotspur, with the aid of CCTV camera recordings.

An Arsenal spokesperson told Standard Sport: “We are concerned that this happened, involving a minority of fans. We will work with Tottenham Hotspur and the authorities on this.”

Arsene Wenger takes his side to Sheffield Wednesday for the next round of the very cup tournament and can be expected to progress further in the competition as the Championship side are currently struggling with only two wins in eight games.
