Carragher sees Red
Statements were taken from a number of Arsenal fans after Carragher threw a coin back into the crowd (after it had first been thrown at him along with other missiles) which resulted in him being sent-off.

The woman, who was not badly cut, has made a formal complaint following her injuries and Police Superintendent Andy Smith confirmed that the matter is under investigation.

In response to the missiles thrown at Carragher, an Arsenal spokeswoman said: "This is an isolated incident but will not be taken lightly. Anybody who has been found to have thrown the coin will be banned for life from Highbury but generally speaking our fans are very well behaved. We will be examining video footage and stewards' reports from the area where the coin was thrown."
