Police and stewards were forced to intervene on Wednesday evening after a section of Gunners supporters began to destroy hoardings on the upper tier

A section of Arsenal fans are set to face an investigation from the police and the Football Association after tearing down hoardings at White Hart Lane following Wednesday's League Cup victory over Tottenham.

After the full-time whistle, a section of Arsenal supporters began to destroy banners attached to the upper tier of the stadium, forcing stewards and police to intervene.


The Metropolitan Police confirmed that 10 arrests were made relating to criminal damage, assault and public disorder offences.

A spokesman for Arsenal insisted that the club will fully cooperate with any investigation: "We will work with Tottenham Hotspur and the authorities on this."

Two goals from Mathieu Flamini secured a 2-1 win for Arsene Wenger’s side.
