A Master's student who threw a flare during a Manchester United match, leaving a disabled woman in the crowd needing urgent first aid, has been banned from all football grounds for three years.

Amar Raithatha, 26, from Leicester, bought three flares from Amazon and travelled up to Manchester for Leicester City's game against United in April.

He 'concealed' one of them and got into the stadium, later igniting and throwing it during the match. A court heard the blue smoke flare was launched towards a lower tier area of the ground after Leicester scored.

It landed near to the feet of a 69-year-old woman sitting in a section for supporters with disabilities. She was 'engulfed' in blue smoke, the court heard, which caused her eyes to sting, and needed first aid attention.
