There have been 13 arrests in connection with the violence so far but more are expected as culprits are identified from CCTV pictures. Scotland Yard said it said it would be seeking football banning orders as the FA, which has launched an inquiry, said it would impose life-long bans against anyone involved in the trouble during which a 44-year-old man was stabbed in the chest. There were also three pitch invasions.”
