Crawley Town defender Paul Connolly has come under the spotlight for all the wrong reasons as he was involved in a minor physical battle with a Brentford fan on the sidelines as Brentford registered a 1-0 win.
The fan had thrown the ball forcefully at Connolly, which might have been something the latter didn’t like.
“It does look as though the ball went into the crowd, and from what I could see it was thrown towards the player,” Brentford CEO Mark Devlin told Get West London as quoted in the Guardian. “He didn’t like it and there appeared to be an exchange, whether was a slap or a punch or whatever.”
“The club will wait to see what the police say and then take it up with Crawley. If the Football League ask us for our input we will investigate it and let them know from our point of view what’s gone one.”
