Description:
Footage has emerged from the north London Derby showing police officers clashing with fans outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. <br/><br/>Arsenal came away from the clash against their bitter rivals with all three points after surviving an impressive second-half comeback from the hosts, the Gunners eventually winning 3-2.<br/><br/>Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz struck for the visitors after a Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg own goal, and although Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min netted in a frantic second half, Mikel Arteta's side held firm. <br/><br/>The Gunners ended the weekend top of the Premier League as a result, while they also secured back-to-back wins at Tottenham in the league for the first time in 36 years. <br/><br/>However, ugly scenes have since emerged from the match with cameras catching the moment fans appeared to clash with police outside the ground. <br/><br/>The video shows a large group of police officers fighting with fans, with some supporters visibly being dragged along the ground by several bodies. <br/><br/>Another appears to be shoved to the ground before being struck repeatedly by officers, who were wearing riot helmets and high-vis jackets. <br/><br/>When another intervenes, seemingly to aid the other supporter, they look to be dragged away.<br/><br/>Throughout the conflict outside the ground, projectiles and drinks can be seen thrown at the police officers by onlookers.<br/><br/>Another clip was posted on TikTok that showed several home supporters inside the ground looking out onto a conflict between police officers and a large group of fans. <br/><br/>It is unclear whether the two clips are of the same incident at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. <br/><br/>There had been reports of away supporters finding a way into the home end for the clash between the bitter local rivals. <br/><br/>One Arsenal supporter was seen full-time in the home area revealing their Arsenal shirt as the players came over to celebrate their huge victory.<br/><br/>In an interview after the game, he explained he'd not realized he had bought a ticket for the wrong part of the stadium, having jetted from Australia to watch his beloved side play.<br/><br/>There is plenty of tension between the two local rivalries, who have long been historic foes, with abuse regularly hurled at players on the pitch from both parties. <br/><br/>Last season's clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium saw a fan kick Aaron Ramsdale in the back before beating a hasty retreat. <br/><br/>At full-time in the 2-0 win, Ramsdale made his way back towards Spurs fans to collect his water bottle before a fan clambered down from the stands and appeared to kick the goalkeeper. <br/><br/>The fan, later identified as Joseph Watts of Hackney, was charged by police and pleaded guilty to assaulting the Arsenal goalkeeper.
