Brighton and Hove Albion on loan goalkeeper Christian Walton was involved in an angry exchange with Ipswich Town fans after their loss to Charlton Athletic last night.

Walton, who joined League One Ipswich on loan at the start of the season, tried to act as peacemaker as his teammate Toto Nsiala had a heated argument with Ipswich's travelling support at the Valley after the 2-0 loss against the Addicks.

Walton, who stands at 6ft 5in, attempted to defuse the situation but a fuming Town fan ran on to the pitch and shoved the 26-year-old former England under-21 stopper.

The fan in question was man-handled by stewards and led away.

Walton had performed well in the match and Town would have suffered a greater defeat had it not been for Albion man's performance.
