Fans say police used shields and tear gas outside stadiumInadequate turnstile operation said to have led to issues
The Football Association and the Football Supporters’ Association have launched investigations after England supporters complained of being treated like animals by police before the Nations League match in Greece on Thursday night.
Lee Carsley’s team were supported by 3,500 travelling fans but the atmosphere darkened outside the away end before kick-off. Supporters spoke of an inadequate turnstile operation and said riot police used shields and teargas to rearrange the queue. Images have been circulated of officers wearing gas masks.
