Police have confirmed they have arrested a 23-year-old man for running on the pitch at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

The man reportedly confronted Crystal Palace defender Damien Delaney as he walked off at half-time, with the hosts 4-0 down to fellow-strugglers Sunderland.

He was not arrested over the confrontation, but under the 1991 Football Offences Act.
