There were ugly scenes on the streets of the Spanish city of Seville ahead of West Ham ’s Europa League tie on Thursday evening.

The Hammers are due to play Sevilla in the Europa League Round of 16 clash on Thursday, with thousands of fans making the trip to the Andalusian capital from East London.

Two sets of fans, reported by Spanish radio station Cadena Cope to be West Ham and Eintracht Frankfurt supporters, clashed on the streets of the city on Wednesday evening.

Frankfurt fans had seen their side triumph 2-1 at Real Betis – city rivals of Sevilla – earlier on Wednesday, with the two matches being staged on separate days due to UEFA rules of matches in the same city.

Video footage shows two groups of fans stage a running battle on the street with glass bottles, sticks, bar seats and tables thrown amid the chaos.

The incident appears to have taken place outside an Irish bar in the city, in which a large group of fans had been assembled and were drinking during the evening.

Video footage captures a rival set of fans approaching the bar in a coordinated attack, before launching a series of missiles and objects, which then received a retaliation.
