UEFA are lining up a stadium ban after 'unacceptably violent' clashes with West Midlands police ahead of their game with Aston Villa... as they reveal they are investigating the trouble

Daily Mail  

We expected perfection from VAR - we haven't got it: Listen to It's All Kicking Off 46 Legia Warsaw fans were arrested and UEFA are investigating the incident Legia Warsaw are expected to be hit by a stadium ban by UEFA after Aston Villa launched an official complaint over the violence that blighted their Europa Conference League meeting on Thursday. Football hooligans from Polish side Legia Warsaw attacked police officers outside Villa Park One police officer was hit by a flare thrown by the hooligans and was engulfed by flames UEFA 'strongly condemned' what they labelled 'unacceptable violence' ahead of kick off Legia officials were upset with Villa for reducing their supporters’ ticket allocation from 1,700 to about 1,002, a decision made on November 2, four weeks before the match. ‘In spite of numerous requests for co-operation from Legia Warsaw, especially in the last two days, no assistance on the serious safety matter of away fans attending Villa Park was forthcoming from the visiting club.’ Legia owner Mioduski and the club’s board decided not to attend the game due to the dispute over the allocation, remaining at the team hotel in Birmingham. We’ve policed it correctly, but you just cannot stop the sporadic violence which occurs.’ The violent clashes led to 46 supporters being arrested - all of whom were Legia Warsaw fans West Midlands Police confirmed four officers were injured following the ugly scenes Legia Warsaw fans pelting Aston Villa supporters with projectiles from outside Villa Park Legia manager Kosta Runjaic refused to condemn the actions of the away fans after the game
