Luton Town's Henri Lansbury somehow escaped with just a yellow card despite dispatching Swansea City's Ryan Manning with a savage kick while the ball was not even in play. The two Championship sides played out a memorable 3-3 draw on Saturday, but Lansbury's attack also proved a heated talking point. Not only did Manning's aggressor stay on the field, but the Swansea man also picked up a booking for his troubles! What happened? Luton were cruising 3-0 ahead when Lansbury and his right boot came to the fore. The midfielder was keen to restart the action with a quick free kick, taking a big swing at the ball following a Swansea infraction. Manning, however, found himself in the way, and received the full force of Lansbury's follow-through as he was sent flying. Other Swansea players immediately confronted the perpetrator, but when tempers cooled he was only shown a yellow card instead of the expected red. The bruised Manning was given an identical punishment for encroachment, having rolled the ball away a split-second before feeling the wrath of Lansbury's boot. #footballindepth #lutontown #swanseacity #championship
Ligue 1 was once again the setting for an outbreak of supporter violence on Saturday, with the derby between Lens and Lille suffering delays after a pitch invasion from home fans. The two rivals went into half-time drawn at 0-0 after a tense opening 45 minutes. But they were forced to wait in order to restart the match as crowd trouble caused a temporary postponement in the Ligue 1 clash. What happened? Midway through the half-time break a group of Lens ultras flooded onto the pitch in order to confront their Lille counterparts, located in a different part of the stadium. The attack seems to have been provoked by the actions of a section of the away support, who were earlier seen climbing on a fence separating them from home fans and throwing seats and other projectiles over the barrier. After a brief fracas, the Lens ultras ran back to their own stand, while the match officials called for a momentary delay to the start of the second half while they evaluated the situation. The two clubs came out to warm up and were eventually cleared to restart the derby, famed as one of France's fiercest fixtures. The melee witnessed on Saturday was the second such incident to befall French football's top division in less than a month. Back in August, Nice's match with Marseille was forced to be suspended due to a pitch invasion from the home fans. The hosts were punished with a point deduction, while several Marseille players and staff, including star midfielder Dimitri Payet, were also sanctioned for their actions in provoking supporters during a bad-tempered match - which will be replayed behind closed doors. #footballindepth #lille #rclens #ligue1 #frenchligue1 #ultras

Arsenal and Burnley supporters clashed in ugly scenes following the two sides' Premier League match at Turf Moor. Martin Odegaard scored the only goal of the game with an excellent free kick to hand the Gunners an important win, before tension ensued in the stands. The pressure had been piled on Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta following a disappointing start to the season. Sections of Arsenal's support have been unhappy with the Spaniard's management. But the club's fans then clashed following their win over Burnley. The majority of the fighting appeared to take place once referee Anthony Taylor called time on a narrow victory for the North Londoners. Missiles were thrown between both sets of fans, according to witnesses. Most of those objects were apparently empty plastic bottles. Footage posted to social media shows fans bunched in the middle of the stand behind one of the goals at Burnley's Turf Moor stadium. The stand hosts both home and away supporters. Objects can be seen being thrown between supporters, who are separated by a small segregation. Only a few stewards appear to be present. They can be seen struggling to control the situation as it spirals out of control. #footballindepth #burnley #arsenal #arsenalfans #premierleague
AC Milan midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko has accused Lazio fans of racial abusing him and team-mate Franck Kessie. The incident is alleged to have taken place in the course of Milan’s 2-0 win at the San Siro, and involved a racist chant. Bakayoko joined Milan on loan from Chelsea this summer, having already spent the 2018-19 season on loan at the club. He came on as a substitute, before being forced off with an injury himself after only 13 minutes. It is not the first time that Bakayoko and Kessie have received alleged abuse from Lazio fans. In April 2019, racist chants and monkey noises were heard during their 1-0 Coppa Italia semi-final win against AC Milan. At that time, Lazio refused to condemn the chants, writing that: “[The club] rejects and contests the simplistic tendencies of certain media who consider the entire Lazio fan base as co-responsible for the acts of a few”. Since that date, both UEFA and Serie A have either fined or imposed partial stadium bans on Lazio, after further accusations of racial abuse during games against Rennes and Brescia respectively. Writing in an Instagram post this morning, Bakayoko said: “Thank you for the warm welcome Rossoneri. I’m unfortunately injured for my debut but the most important are the three points for the team. “And to some Lazio fans and their racist cries towards me and my brother Franck Kessie. We are strong and proud of our skin colour. I have all my confidence in our club to identify them. #forzamilan #notoracism”. AC Milan addressed the accusations via Twitter on Sunday night. “Regarding the discriminatory chants towards our player Tiemoue Bakayoko coming from the opposition section, reported by some journalists and spectators, AC Milan is considering presenting a complaint to the FIGC after the appropriate checks.” #footballindepth #bakayoko #notoracism #acmilan #lazio #kessie #forzamilan

The Poland Football Association are adamant their players did not racially abuse England footballers after FIFA launched an investigation into the bust-up that marred Wednesday's World Cup qualifier. The England FA are refusing to publicly comment on the controversy as they conduct their own enquiries in search for total clarity on what happened at half-time in Warsaw. But their Polish counterparts have strenuously insisted that any assertions that their players made racially motivated comments or gestures to the England players are false. 'The English FA made a complaint at half-time to FIFA to investigate and review what happened at half-time,' confirmed Jakub Kwiatkowski, the Poland team manager to Sportsmail. 'But I am 100 percent sure the players were not racist, I am convinced of that. I know the players and they would not do that.' Both two teams clashed at the end of the first-half with footage showing Glik pinching Walker's throat. The flashpoint sparked a mass confrontation between both sides as they headed for the tunnel. Glik insisted it was only a 'verbal scuffle.' It is understood that at half-time two officials from the Football Association, team manager Emily Webb and head of security Tony Coniford, communicated to the fourth official the a complaint which was then lodged to the match commissioner. Witness statements were taken and it was decided the game should continue. Glik, who plays for Italian Serie B side Benevento, admitted trading insults with Walker and revealed that the Manchester City defender refused the offer of a handshake later on. Speaking to TVP Sport after the game, Glik said: 'There was some scuffle. Later, I wanted to shake Walker's hand but he didn't accept it. 'There was some verbal scuffle but nothing more happened there.' That came as Fifa began its own probe. A statement from FIFA said: 'FIFA is in the process of analysing the official match reports of the FIFA World Cup qualifier match between Poland and England. 'The relevant information will be assessed by the competent disciplinary bodies in order to decide on next steps.' Referee Daniel Siebert signalled for the interval after 45 minutes of feisty and full-blooded action in Warsaw, but both teams then suddenly met in the middle of the pitch in an altercation. Both Glik and Harry Maguire were shown yellow cards after the row, and footage quickly surfaced showing Glik bizarrely pinching Walker's neck at a free-kick, leading to the reaction from his Three Lions team-mates. The two players were seen getting involved in a heated exchange just after the start of the break, with both aiming gestures at each other and clearly irked. Broadcast cameras panned to the crowd initially, but quickly flashed back on to the pitch to show the brawl, with more and more stars piling in to intervene. Three Lions captain Harry Kane looked to pull away several of his colleagues, and the officials were eventually able to lower tensions and restore some control. Glik, despite his grab on Walker, was guided towards the tunnel first, before the referee ordered him back to show him the yellow card. After the booking was brandished to both men, Maguire was left to walk away, apparently bemused as to why he had also gone into the book.

England players were targeted with racial abuse by some Hungary supporters during Thursday's World Cup qualifier in Budapest, British broadcasters reported. ITV and Sky Sports said their pitch-side reporters heard racist 'monkey chants' aimed at England forward Raheem Sterling and substitute Jude Bellingham. England players took the knee in an anti-racist gesture before the game and were loudly booed at the Puskas Arena. Sterling was then pelted with plastic cups by fans after he scored the opening goal in the second half and celebrated by the corner flag near to Hungary's hardcore 'ultras' fans. England manager Gareth Southgate said he was not aware of the racist incidents during the game but reiterated the team's stance on racism. “I can only go off what you are telling me and if that is the case then we know it is unacceptable," "We weren’t conscious of it on the side and I don’t know whether the players on the pitch were but I think everyone knows what we have talked about for two or three years," he said. "They know what we stand for as a team and we have to hope that we can continue to eradicate racism from not only football but life in general." "It is extremely disappointing to hear reports of discriminatory actions towards some of our England players, "an FA spokesperson said on twitter. The match had been place on a 'red list' by FIFA due to a high risk of racist and homophobic abuse following conduct by Hungary supporters during their Euro 2020 campaign this summer, which saw the team handed a three-match stadium ban by UEFA after incidents against France and Portugal. The third game of the ban is suspended for a probationary period of two years, with Hungary also instructed to display a banner promoting equality at future matches. In addition, the Hungarian Football Federation was given a £85,500 fine for the number of fan infringements. However, Hungary were able to play in front of 67,000 spectators at the Ferenc Puskas Stadium in Budapest against the Three Lions because they were playing in a competition run by FIFA. #footballindepth #racism #sterling #HUNENG #southgate #FA #england #fifa #bellingham #NoToRacism #Ultras #SayNoToRacism
