Trouble breaks out after Arsenal fans get mocked following their side’s Champions League penalty shootout loss to PSG.
Footage emerged on social media, showing fights outside bars and venues, one near Isaacs on the Quay pub in Ipswich, another allegedly at the The Hoy & Helmet Pub in Benfleet between West Ham and Arsenal fans, a clash between fans allegedly at a fan park at Bridges on Southbank.
The game itself saw Paris Saint-Germain defend their Champions League title, a penalty shootout needed to settle this one, the French outfit winning 4-3.
Kai Havertz put Arsenal ahead six minutes in, before Ousmane Dembele levelled from the spot on 55 minutes.

Arrests in Budapest after PSG and Arsenal fans clash, PSG fans tear-gassed by police in Paris
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said to TNT Sports, as per Sky Sports: “It’s very tough to accept. You are so consistent in the competition all the way until the final and in the end you lose the trophy on penalty kicks. It is a difficult one.
“We haven’t done it for 22 years [win the league] and it is only the second time in our history [we have reached the final].
“We need to recognise the season that we had. Nobody is going to take the pain away from you.
“I think you have to go through the motions. If you are in pain, go through the pain. If you have done something wrong, you have to learn from it.
“Reflect on that. Show the ambition that we want to go again.
“I’m so proud of them [the players]… we know internally what we’ve been through. To manage this group of players, the way they carry this badge. We got to the big one and we missed on the biggest one.”
Arsenal’s Declan Rice said to TNT Sports: “It’s devastating to lose a Champions League final on penalties. We tried to take a lot of perspective in how far we’ve come as a group. An incredible season. Our 63rd game in all competitions. We’ve given it absolutely everything.
“We took the game to penalties. It’s a lottery. That’s football, you can either win on pens or lose. Some of the best teams in the world have lost on pens. We’re on the receiving end of that tonight.
“We win together and we lose together. I’m so proud of these boys. What a season. It’s been incredible. I can’t speak highly enough of everyone. I’m obviously gutted but I’m trying to look with a bit of perspective. We’ll be back.
“The emotions and the stakes are so high. It’s cruel. He [Arteta] spoke about how much he loves us as a the group. How we’ve given 100 per cent every single game with everything that’s been thrown at us.
“This is only the start for us. We got over the line in the Premier League, this would’ve been one step further but it wasn’t to be. We keep building. Since I came to the club it was a quarter-final exit, then semi-final and now final. We keep going and keep staying positive. This isn’t going to define us.”
