Chelsea have banned three of their fans after they were caught throwing celery during the team’s FA Cup win at Tottenham Hotspur, the Premier League champions said on Tuesday.
Two of them were arrested for throwing celery during the quarterfinal replay on March 19, while a third was spotted throwing the vegetable and later identified.
A fourth supporter was banned for a pitch incursion.
”All four people have been banned by the club and three will face court bans depending on the outcome of any criminal proceedings,” the club said on its website.
Chelsea had warned their fans three days before the replay against throwing celery during matches, saying it was a criminal offence and that anyone caught could be banned. ‒ Reuters
