He also admitted going onto the playing area at a football match during Saints' 3-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion. 

Grace, of Emsworth Road, Southampton, received a one-year community order on September 9. 

He must complete up to six rehabilitation days and 100 hours of unpaid work.

The 23-year-old must pay £75 compensation, £85 court costs and a £114 surcharge. 

He initially pleaded guilty on June 27, just over a month after Saints achieved promotion to the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Leeds United at Wembley.
