A football hooligan who threw a bottle of beer at Crystal Palace star Aaron Wan-Bissaka is being hunted by police.

The defender was struck on the shoulder by the flying bottle but was uninjured during a home game against Newcastle United.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka made three important tackles in the match which ended 0-0.

A fan in the away section at Selhurst Park, south London, launched the beer bottle during the ill-tempered game on September 22 – which ended 0-0.

Police have released these two photos of someone that they want to talk to in connection with the incident.

A Met Police spokesman said: “Police investigating disorder at the Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Newcastle on Saturday, 22 September have released an image of a man they would like to identify.

“During the match, a bottle was thrown on to the pitch towards the players.”

Scotland Yard confirmed the Under-21 England player was involved and a spokesman added: “We believe that Wan-Bissaka was hit by the bottle during the match.”
