Tottenham's Champions League victory over Marseille marred by crowd trouble

Tottenham's 2-0 victory over Marseille was marred by angry clashes towards the end of the game in north London.

Richarlison's second-half brace earned Antonio Conte's side all three points in their first Champions League outing since the 2019-20 season.

However, ugly scenes occurred at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the away end.

The trouble started in stoppage time as missiles were launched between the Marseille fans and some in the home section closest to them.

Marseille's fans then proceeded to tear down a Pride flag that was hung inside the home end at the corner of the ground.

Police in riot gear came into the stadium after the final whistle and a smoke cannister was thrown into the stands.

Marseille fans were held behind after full time and surrounded by stewards and riot police.

Videos were shared online of the crowd trouble, with Declan McCarthy sharing a video of the Pride flag being torn down.

He wrote: 'Ugly scenes at the Tottenham stadium. Fighting, flares and missiles thrown from the visiting fans.

'Marseille ultras pull down Tottenham's pride flag in the corner of the ground. Disgusting to see. Riot police arrived to calm things down.'

Antonio Conte's Tottenham ran out 2-0 winners courtesy of a brace from summer signing Richarlison. Marseille were forced to contest the majority of the second half with ten men after Chancel Mbemba Mangulu was given a red-card for a tackle on Heung-Min Son.
