# Fan arrested for throwing pie at Zaha

A Brighton and Hove and Albion fan has been arrested following the club’s clash against Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening after he threw a pie at Wilfried Zaha, the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6463593/Brighton-fan-arrested-throwing-PIE-Crystal-Palace-star-Wilfried-Zaha.html) reports.

10 arrests in total were made on the night as fans clashed at Brighton station, Falmer Station, the city centre of Brighton and at the Amex Stadium itself.

One 21-year-old Brighton fan from Shoreham was arrested at the stadium for throwing a pie onto the pitch towards Zaha.

Despite playing the majority of the match against 10-men, Zaha’s Crystal Palace side suffered a 3-1 defeat to Brighton in what was deemed by Palace’s James McArthur as an “unacceptable” display.
