Riot officers fired pepper spray and tear gas at some Liverpool fans who were trying to get into the ground for the match on Saturday night. The minister blamed "industrial scale" ticket fraud amongst Liverpool fans for causing chaos at the Stade de France. But a Downing Street spokesman described the scenes as "deeply upsetting" and called for an investigation.
