A spokesperson for the force said the incident, which involved only a "small minority" of those at the game, was in "complete contrast" to the rest of the fixture which had been "peaceful and good-natured".

Officers said one male had been arrested in connection with the disorder and a juvenile male had been "dealt with" by the Youth Offending Team.
