Nine people were arrested during the Carabao Cup final

Nine people were arrested during yesterday’s Carabao Cup final according to the Metropolitan Police.

Several people were arrested for possession of Class A drugs, with the Met seeking football banning orders against the offenders.

Other offences ranged from drunk and disorderly behaviour, pitch incursion and missile throwing.

However, the force stated the large-scale gathering by Geordies at Trafalgar Square on Saturday was ‘good natured.’ No arrests were made but the police did intervene after the flares were set off.
