Scott Law, a 43-year-old civil engineer, dashed from his seat to confront the Sky Sports pundit during the climax of Arsenal's 3-1 Premier League win over Manchester United last September.
Keane was knocked backwards through a set of doors by Law's headbutt to his chest, before Sky colleague Micah Richards stepped in to restrain the attacker. In the aftermath, Richards was seen pinning Law to a wall as an angry Keane remonstrated with him.
Moments later Keane is accused of throwing an elbow at Law's nose in a violent scuffle, but the former Manchester United captain insisted he was only trying to stop him from fleeing.
At Highbury Corner magistrates" court today, Law was found guilty of assault by beating after a trial in front of District Judge Angus Hamilton. He is due to be sentenced later.
