According to Law, the incident began after he taunted Keane over Manchester United’s disallowed goal, which had been overturned by VAR.
During the trial, Law’s defense team presented slow-motion CCTV footage, which they argue shows Keane throwing an elbow at Law’s nose.
The footage was scrutinised in court as Law’s legal representatives sought to support their argument that Keane was the aggressor in the incident.
