New footage has emerged that appears to show the Arsenal fan that threw the bottle that hit Dele Alli during the north London derby.
A video uploaded to Twitter seems to reveal the person who threw the object from the stands at the Emirates Stadium was wearing a hooded jacket that obscured his face.
The fan then ducked after throwing the object, which caught Alli square on the head. It is understood that he immediately ran out of the stadium when he saw it had hit the Spurs star.

Arsenal have apologised for the incident: 'We have all been embarrassed by the individual who threw a bottle at Dele Alli during Wednesday night's match against Tottenham Hotspur.
Behaviour of this type has no place at Emirates Stadium and after analysing CCTV footage, which showed him leaving the stadium after throwing the bottle, we have identified an image of the suspect.
'We are liaising with the Metropolitan Police and investigations continue in order to apprehend the culprit.
'We are not responsible for the actions of one individual, but send our apologies to Dele Alli and everyone at Tottenham Hotspur for this incident. We do not tolerate any anti-social, discriminatory or violent behaviour at Arsenal Football Club.
'Anyone identified will receive a lengthy club ban and their details will be passed to the police to commence legal proceedings.'
On Thursday morning, the Met Police told Sportsmail they were looking into the incident.
A statement read: 'The Met is working with Arsenal Football Club to identify the person responsible for an incident where a bottle was thrown onto the pitch during the Arsenal vs Tottenham match on Wednesday, 19 December.
'There has been no arrest in relation to this specific incident.
'Seven people were arrested as part of the policing operation for this match for a variety of offences including possession of drugs; public order and assault on police.'
Arsenal legend Ian Wright has called for a lifetime ban: 'I've got to roundly condemn the people who chose to throw something at Dele Alli. I know Dele can be a bit of a pantomime villain. It's no excuse.

'I've done exactly the same to the Spurs fans, I don't remember having anything thrown at me. Whatever the club's doing, they should find them and ban them for life. We don't want that touch to our club.'
Alli made light of the incident on his Instagram, posting a snap of the moment and adding: 'It was at this moment he knew... he f***** up'.
The bottle was thrown in the 72nd minute of Spurs’ 2-0 win which earned a Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea.
The England midfielder had scored Tottenham’s second goal. After being struck by the bottle, he responded by signalling ‘2-0’ towards Arsenal fans as Spurs sealed their spot in the last four. Manchester City will play League One Burton Albion in the other semi-final.
Arsenal will face an FA probe over the incident and are currently scouring CCTV footage in an attempt to identify the fan.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino branded the person behind the incident ‘stupid’, adding: ‘It was lucky it wasn’t a big issue.
The Tottenham midfielder was angry as he turned to the Arsenal fans to see what was thrown
‘For me, we hate each other in a good way but that is in a bad way when you want to damage people, or an opponent.
‘Only one stupid person made a mistake. I respect Arsenal fans. I hope Arsenal can take some responsibility for the people through cameras and identify. It wasn’t a problem but it can be a big issue and then how do we fix it?
‘I think Arsenal will take responsibility to identify the person involved.’
Alli added: ‘It is what it is. It made the goal a little bit sweeter and the win.’

If caught, the person is likely to face a ban, but identification could prove difficult for the north London club’s security as this was not a match where season-ticket holders were in their usual seats.
This incident puts the spotlight on supporters once again, after recent events which have shamed English football.
One Tottenham fan was this week banned from football for four years in Highbury Magistrates Court and fined £500 after throwing a banana skin towards Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as he celebrated scoring a goal earlier this month when Arsenal won the Premier League clash 4-2.
Chelsea fans were also accused of racially abusing Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling at Stamford Bridge when he went to retrieve the ball.
Alli could not resist ramping up the bad blood between the rivals with his own 2-0 gesture
Arsenal manager Unai Emery was asked about the thrown bottle and said: ‘I didn’t see. I think the atmosphere is good. But I didn’t see this. If there is one situation like that, it is not good behaviour.’
Pochettino also reserved special praise for Alli afterwards as he said: ‘In training he gets bored easily. He is a competitive animal and feels comfortable. In a competitive situation, he always gives his best. That is the quality he has and you cannot buy it in a supermarket.’
The Argentine also hailed his players as they ignored the talk of Manchester United wanting to steal their manager to inflict this defeat on Arsenal.
Son Heung-min and Alli scored the goals, with Spurs showing no lack of focus despite the intense speculation surrounding Pochettino’s future following the sacking of Jose Mourinho on Tuesday.

This victory moved Tottenham one step closer to lifting their first trophy since winning this competition under Juande Ramos in 2008 and Pochettino said: ‘It was very competitive, more like a final than a quarter-final. Tough.
‘Arsenal have a great team. It is difficult to play here. A few weeks ago here we were disappointed and to change that emotion was important. That’s why I am so happy.
‘It’s unfair to talk about winning titles. In a competitive country it’s so difficult. The most important thing is to settle the principles (of the side) and create a competitive team. We are competitive.’
Alli added: ‘When we came here last time we didn’t get the result we wanted. But we wanted to get to the semi-finals and I think it was a strong performance from us in the end. We have to focus on the next game now, focus on the positives and not get carried away with ourselves. We play games to win and keep improving.’
Sky pundits Jamie Redknapp and Alex Scott described the bottle throwing as 'disgusting'
Meanwhile, talking about the Alli incident after the full-time whistle, pundits Alex Scott and Jamie Redknapp said more needs to be done to stamp such behaviour out of the game.
Scott said: 'It's complete stupidity, I don’t know why this would come through your head. You don’t need to do this. You need to stamp down on this. You need to start banning people.
'Why would you do this? This is the sort of thing we need to stomp out.'
For Redknapp it was 'disgusting behaviour' that needs to be tackled before something more dangerous is hurled at players.
'It is obvious we are not doing enough to stamp racism out but if you come to the football to throw a bottle at a professional player it’s embarrassing,' he said.
'Don’t come. When you throw something at someone like that it is disgusting behaviour. It’s not good enough. Someone will throw a coin and it could take a player’s eye out.'
FOOTBALL'S RECENT CONTROVERSIES
This incident on Wednesday night puts the spotlight on supporters once again, after recent events which have shamed English football.
Chelsea fans have been involved in a number of controversies in recent weeks, including alleged racism aimed at Raheem Sterling, and offensive chanting at a Europa League match.
The suspension of four Chelsea supporters came after they were caught on television hurling abuse at Manchester City forward Sterling during their Premier League clash on December 8.
Sterling spoke to the Metropolitan Police following the abuse, which he said included racist insults. In a statement on Instagram, the England international said he 'had to laugh' at the attack as he 'expects no better'.
One of the fans was identified as 60-year-old Colin Wing, who denied racially abusing Sterling. No arrests have yet been made an investigations by the police, FA and Chelsea are ongoing.
Chelsea's week of shame was compounded with images of a 'Nazi' banner on social media
Last Thursday, a section of Chelsea fans were heard singing anti-Semitic chants during their Europa League draw away to Hungarian club MOL Vidi.
There were also pictures circulated on social media which showed a group with a Chelsea flag that was also decorated with Nazi-inspired insignia.
UEFA have opened an investigation into the chanting, which Chelsea criticised in a strongly-worded statement.
One Tottenham fan was this week banned from football for four years in Highbury Magistrates Court and fined £500 after throwing a banana skin towards Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as he celebrated scoring a goal earlier this month when Arsenal won the League clash 4-2.
Averof Panteli, 57, was fined £500 and banned. He claimed he picked up the skin in anger from the floor and threw it at the Gabon international, who had just scored the opening goal in Arsenal's 4-2 victory.

Brighton and Crystal Palace fans were involved in violent clashes ahead of their Premier League fixture at the start of the month.
Fans reportedly clashed at Brighton station ahead of the game known as the 'M23 Derby', with police having to step in.
Similarly ugly scenes occurred before last season's game at the AMEX Stadium, where 150 Palace fans were refused entry to the ground despite having tickets.
Local Brighton newspaper The Argus reported both sets of fans fought with officers as they boarded trains to the stadium. It also claimed there was a small section of away supporters singing homophobic chants directed at home fans. Some Palace fans are said to have escaped from a police escort and attacked Albion supporters outside a pub before being restrained.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
