After the game, Staffordshire Police arrested a total of eight males on suspicion of multiple offences, with ages ranging from 15 to 37.

An 18-year-old man from Stoke, arrested on suspicion of racially-aggravated harassment, has since been granted conditional police bail while inquiries continue.

The other 7 have been released under investigation.

PC Benjamin Greensides, Dedicated Football Officer at Staffordshire Police, said: “I’d like to thank the vast majority of the attending fans, both home and away, whose behaviour was exemplary before, during and after, the match.  The minority of individuals who caused a small number of disturbances were dealt with quickly and appropriately.
