The fan allegedly invaded the pitch during Palace's defeat to Arsenal
A football fan has been charged with invading the Selhurst Park pitch during a match earlier this season.
Gary Carter, 31, of Milton Road, Caterham, is alleged to have illegally entered the pitch during Crystal Palace's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal on February 21.
He will appear at Croydon Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Arsenal won the game through goals from Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud, despite a late consolation strike from Eagles striker Glenn Murray.
Entering the playing field during a match is prohibited under the Football (Offences) Act 1991 and can be punished with fines of up to £1,000.
