White Hart Pain: Clashes between rival fans and police mar FA Cup quarter-final between London rivals Millwall and Spurs

Clashes between rival fans and police marred the FA Cup quarter-final between London rivals Millwall and Tottenham.

Armies of angry supporters were seen fighting with riot officers and hurling beer at one another as they lined the north London streets in their hundreds near Spurs' White Hart Lane stadium.

A match eagerly anticipated by both sets of fans, it seemed that a minority was more focused on wreaking havoc off the pitch rather than watching their team progress into the semi-final of English football's oldest competition.

Dramatic photos show the police grappling with supporters and drawing their truncheons as they try to control the baying crowds, with one man tackled to the ground and another appearing to lunge for a policeman on horseback.
