There were scenes of crowd disturbance at Manchester City's Champions League clash on Tuesday night, with a rowdy Feyenoord following making themselves heard at the Etihad.
The Dutch supporters marched with a police escort from the city centre to the Etihad before kick-off, and took their full allocation across the three tiers of the South Stand.
After City went three goals up, Feyenoord pulled a goal back with around 15 minutes remaining which prompted riot police to block home and away fans from fighting towards the end of the contest.
After the goal, Feyenoord fans rushed towards the City fans in the corner of the East Stand, with items thrown towards the dividing line from both sets of fans.
Riot police soon joined the lines of stewards between the away end and home sections, with Feyenoord's second goal prompting more anxious moments in the closing stages before the visitors then drew level late on.
It was an incredible on pitch conclusion to a game City had complete control of midway through the second half. Erling Haaland's penalty late in the first period had broken the deadlock before Ilkay Gundogan and Haaland again put the home side three up.
But the Dutch outfit capitalised on a slack City showing and individual errors to force their way back into the contest in incredible fashion. Jack Grealish hit the bar with a deflected effort as City tried to find a late winner but the contest ended all square.
