TWO brothers punched a woman in the face after a petty row about football marks on a car.
Shahid Alam, 44, and Tuhidul Alam, 47, turned up at the house in Withington after one of their children was accused of kicking a ball against their neighbour's car.
Shahid marched to the house and knocked on the door. He stormed in and a fight erupted.
Several family members got involved in the melee, which caught the attention of Tuhidul, of School Grove, as he drove by. He too joined in the scrap, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Once the fight had calmed down, Shahid approached the neighbour - a 59-year-old woman - and punched her in the face in an unprovoked attack. She was knocked to the floor and left with a split lip.
Both Shahid and Tuhidul Alam pleaded guilty to affray. Shahid admitted a further offence of assault.
Prosecutor Joe Boyd said the incident dates back to four-and-a-half years ago, in June 2018, on School Grove in Withington when the parties were neighbours.
"Clearly, there was bad feeling between the two," the prosecutor said.
