Two people were arrested in connection with a brawl that broke out between football fans minutes after Arsenal were defeated in the Champions League final.

Suffolk Police was called to Ipswich Waterfront at about 20:07 BST on Saturday after receiving reports of a "large fight" that it said had left one person injured.

Footage shared on social media showed several men punching and kicking one another with one man apparently unconscious on the ground as people in a nearby bar watched.

Another video, meanwhile, showed a group of men seemingly goading Gunners fans after they lost 4-3 on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain .

In an update on Monday, a spokesperson for the force said both people had been arrested on suspicion of affray, while one of them was also arrested on suspicion of possession of a class B drug.

Arsenal, who had recently won the Premier League, had taken the lead within six minutes before the Ligue 1 champions equalised through a penalty with 25 minutes to go.

With the score level after full time and 30 minutes of extra time, PSG won on penalties to lift the trophy for the second successive year.
