A fourth man, Paul Wright, 41, from Bexley was charged with a public order offence.

He was also bailed and will appear at the same court on Monday, December 31.

The arrests come after a banana skin was thrown onto the pitch at Gunner's striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, in an alleged racist incident.
