Three people have been arrested following violence after Salford's Million Pound Game win against Hull KR on Saturday.

Fans of both Salford and Hull KR invaded the pitch at the Lightstream Stadium both at the end of 80 minutes and after golden-point extra time following the Red Devils' dramatic 19-18 win over Rovers.

There were ugly scenes as fighting broke out and stewards attempted to control the melee before police flooded on to the field and restrained the alleged culprits.

The police said their investigations are ongoing and they are looking to identify more people responsible.

A 27-year-old man and a 16-year-old have been arrested on suspicion of affray and a 36-year-old has been arrested for alleged assault.

They have been bailed and will appear in court later on this month. The RFL has also said it is investigating and will issue banning orders to those found to have been involved in the violence.
