There was crowd trouble during England's final European qualifier in Lithuania on Monday night.

Scuffles broke out just before kick-off in Vilnius in an area behind one of the goals but police quickly intervened.

England were allocated 850 tickets through the official travel club for the game in a separate area of the stadium.

The stand in which the trouble occurred was one that England fans were advised not to buy tickets in as it is where the local 'ultras' congregate.
