EUROPA LEAGUE – Napoli and Leicester fans involved in heated brawl

Victor Osimhen’s second half brace cancelled Leicester City’s 2-0 lead and set up a tense atmosphere at the King Power Stadium. He scored the equalizer in the 87th minute and as the final whistle blew, things went off the roof.

Plastic bottles and other items were thrown between the home and away stands, prompting the police to form a barricade. However, Napoli fans got involved in a tussle with the authorities after failing to back off.
