Tottenham fined for Europa League pitch invasions

Ukrainian referee Yevhen Aranovskiy took the players off the field after 38 minutes of the Group C game on Nov. 27.

Police arrested the three pitch invaders who appeared to be wearing identical branded T-shirts, bearing the logo of a headphone manufacturer, which later on Twitter condemned what had happened.

A video posted online showed three men talking about invading the pitch ahead of the match.
