Ah lads

Is there any need?

A crowd of hooligans made their mark on Rome tonight when they left a path of destruction around the Spanish Steps area.

Feyenoord were in the Italian capital to take on Roma in the Europa League and a group of travelling Dutch fans are believed to be responsible for causing a ruckus in the north side of the city.

Footage has appeared showing damage to the fountain at the bottom of the steps and a general commotion before violent shots of riot police moving in and getting physical with some of the visitors.

The sides drew 1-1 at the Stadio Olimpico in their round of 32 first leg, Roma taking the lead thanks to this cheeky Gervinho finish.
