Sir Keir Starmer attended the Brighton and Hove Albion game against Arsenal yesterday, January 4.
Sir Keir, a supporter of the Gunners, was pictured in the stands among other fans wearing a black North Face puffer jacket.
In September, Sir Keir faced backlash after it was revealed that he received corporate hospitality from Arsenal football club.
He defended his decision to accept hospitality in order to attend football matches, citing security concerns which prevent him from watching from the stands without a large and expensive police presence.
He told BBC Yorkshire: “Frankly, I’d rather be in the stands but I’m not going to ask the taxpayer to indulge me to be in the stands when I could go and sit somewhere else where the club and the security say it’s safer for me to be.
“That is for me a common sense situation.”
The match ended with a 1-1 draw.
