A 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assault after Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland was hit in the face during a Championship game against Leeds.
A statement from Gloucestershire Police said the man was arrested in Cheltenham shortly before 1pm on Sunday.
Kirkland was struck in the face by a man who got on to the pitch shortly after Leeds had scored an equaliser.
He fell to the ground and required treatment, but was able to finish the game.
South Yorkshire Police are leading the investigation. The man remains in police custody.
A statement from South Yorkshire Police's senior investigating officer Detective Inspector Mark Monteiro said the offender was identified with public help.
He said: "With the public's assistance we have clearly identified the offender who ran on to the pitch during Friday night's game between Sheffield Wednesday FC and Leeds United FC and who is suspected of assaulting the Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper.
"We are also using CCTV footage from around the ground to identify suspects who may have been responsible for other offences before, during or after the match.
"I'd like to thank the supporters and general public who have provided information and assisted with our inquiries."
