England manager Gareth Southgate has branded the current spate of football violence as a national 'embarrassment'.
The end of the domestic season has been marred by a number of worrying pitch invasions that has seen players and managers attacked by unruly supporters amid growing concerns over an increase in hooliganism in English football.
Aston Villa keeper Robin Olsen was attacked during a pitch invasion at Manchester City on Sunday, Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp was headbutted by a fan at Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace coach Patrick Vieira was goaded by Everton fans, causing the Frenchman to lash out.
