Violence erupted in the stands in Wembley as Scotland
were defeated 3-0 by England in the Group F qualifying match.
Pictures show men swinging punches while they are held back by
fellow supporters after the match.
One man was left bloodied and had to receive medical assistance
from the police and security inside the stadium.
Shocking video footage, sent via snapchat after the match, showed
one man punching another, who was left bloodied and bruised.
In the video, two men fight one another, with one man seen
punching another in the head.
Another fan intervenes and appears to be trying to keep the men
apart.
But the bloodied fan instead clambers over the seats, getting
closer to the fight. The incident is believed to have been an
isolated one.
It came after a day of chaos in the capital, with fans
descending on Trafalgar Square and blocking Covent Garden.
The match kicked off in Wembley stadium at 7.45pm but Scottish
fans had been making the most of their day in the capital, storming
through Trafalgar Square and even blocking Covent Garden.
Daniel Sturridge netted the first goal in the 25th minute for
the English side, followed by a second half goal from Adam
Lallana.
Gary Cahill added the third to the total in the 61st minute.
A free kick in the second half's two minute's stoppage time for
Scotland wasn't enough to claw a goal back and England retained a
clean sheet.
The win will be a boost for England's chances of going through
the qualifying stages as they started and finished the evening at
the top of Group F.
Slovakia beat Lithuania 4-0 and Slovenia versus Malta finished
1-0 to Slovenia.
England now has 10 points, with Scotland languishing in fifth
place with four points.
Goalscorer Adam Lallana was awarded man of the match.
Fans praised the teams for wearing black armbands with poppies
on them, to mark Armistice Day, despite FIFA not clearing the kit
change before the match.
Teams have been threatened with a points deduction or fine if
they went ahead and wore the symbols, which commemorate those who
fought and lost their lives in conflicts old and modern.
It remains to be seen if England will retain the points they won
in Friday's match. Wales decided not to wear the symbol to avoid
risking a fine.
FIFA said it did not allow teams to wear anything that made a
'political' statement in a match.
Thousands of Scottish football fans took over today ahead of a
historic showdown against the 'auld enemy' at Wembley tonight.
The Tartan Army set up base at Trafalgar Square - which hosted the
annual Silence In The Square event earlier in the day - ahead of
the World Cup qualifying match, with many monuments draped with the
Scottish Saltire flag.
The Scottish FA pleaded with Tartan Army fans to be respectful
of commemorations this morning, with the travelling Scots
immaculately preserving silences across the capital.
But it changed later in the afternoon, with attentions turning
towards the crunch match with England - while one fan stripped off
and jumped into the fountain still full of paper poppies from the
morning's events.
Blood pouring from one fan's leg covered a Saltire flag as
paramedics attended a concussion, taking at least one fan away in
an ambulance.
Public toilets had to be closed due to deliberate damage such as
equipment being kicked and tiles being pulled off, police and
workers said.
Hundreds of fans blocked Covent Garden as they made their way
through the capital for the evening's game.
There were chants of 'Big Sam's a liar, Scotland's gonna
qualify' as the fans drank in pubs and in Trafalgar Square.
