England and Ireland fans clashed on the streets of Dublin following the Nations League clash between the two sides.
There was a large Garda presence outside of the Aviva Stadium over the course of Saturday to try and keep a lid on the emotions of both supporters, but tensions quickly flared when some chants overstepped the mark.
Ireland supporters gathered outside of a nearby pub ahead of kick-off, with songs initially centred around cheering the ‘Boys in Green’ on. A small scuffle consequently broke out at approximately 4pm, though a Gardai spokesperson told the Mirror that there was no significant pre-match trouble.
However, things turned sour once the match had concluded and England had run out 2-0 winners in Dublin. England supporters were escorted away from the stadium over 30 minutes after the full-time whistle had sounded, but their route saw them pass countless rival supporters.
The path chosen by officials saw the Three Lions fans taken between two pubs packed full of Irish supporters, which fuelled some unsavoury scenes.
In a video obtained by The Mirror, emotions boiled over when some Ireland fans could be heard singing about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
The chant ‘Lizzie’s in a box’ could be heard aimed in the direction of England supporters, who retaliated with unpleasant gestures and some minor scuffles reportedly broke out.
Declan Rice and Jack Grealish were both on the scoresheet for the Three Lions as they cruised to victory at the Aviva Stadium, which certainly will have been a tough pill to swallow for the Republic of Ireland supporters sitting in the stands.
