Unfortunately events outside of Wembley have become a talking point

“Punches and projectiles, including traffic cones were thrown. Officers responded and the group fled. The disorder lasted for around two minutes.

“A number of people sustained head and facial injuries. We are also aware of three people with serious leg, wrist and thumb injuries. None of those injured are believed to be in a life-threatening condition.” “There have been four arrests so far in relation to the disorder.”

Meanwhile, eyewitness Luke Robinson told i: “There’s an entrance at the back of the Green Man and about 50 of them turned up wearing masks and England scarves.

“They stormed in, were hitting anyone and everyone. It was going on for a good five minutes before the police arrived.

“A lot of people were in a bad way. People were on the floor, unconscious, covered in blood. Even kids — one lad no older than 13 had a bleeding nose.

“One guy was with the paramedics and still unconscious when we left.

He added: “It’s the main England pub. I’ve never seen it like that before and I come to every home game. We were there when England played Germany in the Euros and when there was all the trouble around the final, but this is the first time I’ve seen it like it.”
