England fans get into scrap with each other during win against Italy

Stewards mocked over their reaction as England fans get into a scrap with each other during the win against Italy at Wembley on Tuesday.

Footage has surfaced on social media, showing a group of fans caught up in the incident, with stewards/security staff standing beside just watching it play out.

One fooligan in a murky green jacket can be seen losing it with a middle-aged supporter next to him, some try to hold the offender back before falling over seats.

He then goes back to person being attacked and lashes out, throwing his fists in an attempt to hurt, then it goes out of control with at least three others getting involved in the fight. And while all of this is still going on, two stewards again just stand there, while their colleagues come out of nowhere to escort the perpetrators down the concourse.

The game itself saw England secure qualification to Euro 2024 with a come-from-behind win over Italy, thanks to Harry Kane scoring twice and Marcus Rashford also being on target after Gianluca Scamacca’s opener, with England now guaranteed top spot in Group C.

England manager Gareth Southgate to Channel 4: “We’re so hungry, so eager to learn, so together. And you saw that in the performance tonight. We said before that mentality was the main thing. The performance was relentless tonight.

“What was really pleasing was that when we went behind we stayed calm and used the ball calmly from the back. In other big games we have lost the ball too easily. Our forwards worked so hard. When your front players play like that it is a great thing for the team.

“There were times in the first half we were passive near our own goal. The biggest difference in the last couple of years is that we have more legs and physicality in midfield. You need to be outstanding without the ball against world-class teams.

“They [our forwards] are all different and bring different qualities. We have dribblers, speed in behind and players who can come short. But you always need the work ethic. In the biggest games you can’t carry players and that really pleased me in the performance.

“Ideally, we would have everyone playing regularly, but you can see Kalvin (Phillips) and Harry (Maguire) were both outstanding tonight. They are both important for us. They are up against really good players at their clubs. Kalvin has Rodri and (Mateo) Kovacic to compete with. But every time Kalvin plays for us he does a good job.

“We need to make sure we are one of the top seeds next month. We need to win our next two games. We want to be in control of that. We need to keep building. There is more to come from this team. This was the toughest qualifying group, with the seedings. People have criticised us for not beating the top teams enough. But we have performed really well.”

England midfielder Jude Bellingham told Channel 4: “I am getting a little better each time I play.

“A really good night for us, we all remember what happened a few years ago when they played us here. You always aim for progression. We are heading in the right direction and a very important win for us.

“I am loving football at the minute. My management at club and country are giving me freedom to play it how I see it.

“Since the last few months I have been really working on my timing getting into the box and as I am arriving I am arriving with a big hunger.

“With the big transfer the fact is I have to deliver, whether it is a goal or assist or a match-winning performance.

“This is the club I want to be at for the next 10-15 years of my life. I am loving it there. Carlo (Ancelotti) basically said this position is where he sees me.

“One hundred per cent it has improved me. When you are around those mentalities and quality of players every day… it takes you to a new level mentally, physically and technically.”
