[LNB]A police spokesperson said: "The police are investigating an allegation of assault following yesterday's Spurs v Wolves Premier League match at White Hart Lane. [LNB]"There have been no arrests." [LNB]It is understood the allegation came from the supporter, who gave his version of events to security officials after the incident, as did Jordan.
