Fans were removed from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday night after a fight broke out in the north stand during Spurs’ Europa Conference League clash with Vitesse.
Away fans were seen trying to climb into the home section of the stadium during the first half of Tottenham’s Group G game on Thursday.
The police were forced to intervene and form a barrier to prevent the supporters from reaching each other.
A selection of fans were removed from the stadium as a result.
The crowd was then quickly brought back under control – the incident took place when the scoreline was 3-2 late in the first-half.
