Chelsea and Crystal Palace could face FA action after Stamford Bridge arrests

Police made three arrests after pyrotechnics were set off during Crystal Palace's 2-1 win at Chelsea on Saturday.

Four loud bangs were heard coming from the area of the Shed End which housed visiting Palace fans, with smoke bombs and at least one flare visible.

Two people were arrested in the visiting end for allegedly setting off the first pyrotechnic, which followed Wilfried Zaha's equaliser in the London derby, the Metropolitan Police said.

A third person was arrested for allegedly assaulting a steward who was attempting to deal with the incident.

There were five arrests in total around the match at Stamford Bridge, with two relating to possession of Class A drugs, the Met said.
