FA to investigate Arsenal after objects thrown at De Bruyne

The Football Association has launched an investigation after Arsenal fans threw objects at Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne during Wednesday night's Premier League game at the Emirates Stadium.

Erling Haaland wrapped up a 3-1 win for the reigning champions, as Arsenal slipped out of the top spot they had occupied since the third week of the season.

Bukayo Saka's penalty spot-kick had levelled after De Bruyne had struck first for Manchester City, but goals from Jack Grealish and Haaland secured the three points for Guardiola's side.

De Bruyne was pelted with plastic bottles as the Belgian made his way back to the dugout around the pitch after being substituted in the 87th minute.

The incident was included in the referee's match report. The Met Police and Manchester City have been approached by Sky Sports News for comment.
