Crowd trouble marred Leicester’s Europa League victory over Legia Warsaw leaving both clubs facing possible action from UEFA.
Midway through the second half of Leicester’s 3-1 win, supporters housed in the away end of the stadium attempted to reach Leicester supporters by storming through the lines of security that separated them.
Dozens of police dressed in riot gear managed to push the Legia fans back after a battle between the forces and the supporters that lasted about 10 minutes.
The traveling fans filled the night air with smoke after setting off numerous red flares before the trouble started. Some of them clambered over the blockages in an attempt to reach the police and there were reports of missiles also being thrown.
As a result, Leicester was fined £ 17,000 earlier this season after incidents between rival fans during their 2-2 draw with Napoli in September. On the pitch, Leicester recorded their first win in five matches as first-half goals from Patson Daka, James Maddison and Wilfred Ndidi put them top of the group.
When Leicester were 2-0 up, Filip Mladenovic replied for Legia after Kasper Schmeichel had saved a penalty from Mahir Emeli.
A draw at Napoli next month will be enough to seal a place in the knockout stages while staying in the first place will result in a bye to the last 16.
