Moment Oxford United player is booked in FA Cup loss to Arsenal to spark betting probe

Oxford United defender Ciaron Brown escaped punishment for challenges on Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and Takehiro Tomiyasu before the yellow card that prompted an FA spot-fixing investigation into suspicious betting patterns.

Sportsmail exclusively revealed that the FA have a dossier of evidence regarding supposed corruption, including alleged phone messages from before kick-off in Monday night's FA Cup third round tie at the Kassam Stadium.

The messages claim that Brown would be booked in a betting scam that allegedly cost one bookmaker more than £1,600.
