#5 Hooliganism raises its head again
Trending
The game was marred by Hooliganism towards the end, with both sets of fans, breaking chairs and throwing coins at each other. Harrowed by the events unfolding in the stadium, the authorities at the club were quick to react, requesting riot police be deployed in and around the stadium.
However, their efforts did not yield positive results as the fans were at each others’ throats and we have subsequently seen at least 7 fans arrested on account of the violence after the game.
The beautiful game has had its fair share of problems with hooliganism in the past with a number of events well documented. While England might not be as troubled as other European nations, the FA must act tough to ensure that such events do not repeat themselves as it puts the reputation of the game and the league on the sword.
It remains to be seen how the footballing authorities deal with the clubs involved in the trouble.
