A man has been found guilty of common assault after headbutting Roy Keane back in September.
Keane was working for Sky Sports during a match between Arsenal and Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium, with the Gunners winning 3-1.
While working, Keane clashed with a fan - who then aimed a headbutt at the Red Devils legend.
Scott Law, 43, of Waltham Abbey, Essex, had pleaded not guilty. However, after a trial, he's now been found guilty of assault.

Footage on social media at the time showed Keane's fellow Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards stepping in to defend his collegue.
Keane said he was left 'in shock' by the clash.
Earlier in the trial, he said: “There was lots of noise and shouting, as you would expect at a football match.
"I was just walking and, before I knew it, I was hit.
"I felt the contact and fell back through some doors. I was absolutely not expecting it.
"The only way I can describe it is that I was in shock.
"I didn’t expect it to happen, not when I was in my workplace.”
Law told the court that Keane had told him to 'meet him outside' after banter 'turned more aggressive'.
His defence team argued footage from the Emirates showed Keane elbowing the defendant in the face.
The footage was shown in court but a jury has now found Law guilty.
On Richards stepping in, Keane added: “Micah then gets hold of someone.
"He was just trying to get a grip of him and make sure he didn’t run off.
“I was saying: ‘Call the police.’
"For about 15 or 20 seconds Micah was holding him up against a wall [to stop] him getting away.”
Law's defence team alleged that Richards had claimed to see the headbutt because he was 'Roy's mate' and his 'stooge'.

Yet Richards strongly denied that and said: "I felt sorry for Roy. Just because of the fact you've come to work, to do your job and you've been assaulted.
"I could see he was physically shaken up. You do what any friend would do, or any colleague, step in and try to help the situation."
He added: "It was a surreal moment. We weren't going to a UFC match. We were at work."
Law said Keane was 'angry' throughout the match and said the United icon 'picked me out and started telling me to see him outside'.
He said Keane 'collided into him' when they met inside the stadium.
Prosecutor Simon Jones KC asked Law: "Are you seriously saying that Roy Keane ran into the top of your head?"
Law, who cried while being questioned, then said: "I put my head down in a defensive manner to protect my face."
Mr Jones said Law's 'ridiculous' defence had 'changed dramatically' from a prepared statement he had given to police the day after the incident.
When asked about the differences in his statement, Law said: "I'd had no sleep - I was guilty by media.
"It was the worst night of my life."
