A warrant has been issued in Northern Ireland to arrest ex-Newcastle star Keith Gillespie after he failed to answer bail.

Sunderland fans were arrested both before and during the game and charged with a variety of offences including: being drunk in a sports ground, suspicion of violent disorder and suspicion of conspiracy to commit violent disorder.

The total of United fans arrested has risen to 175 from 73 the previous season, with the two Manchester clubs next in the list.

The chaotic derby at St.James’ Park contributes 29 Newcastle United arrests of the season total of 175.
