FA Investigation into Alleged 'Violent Treatment' of Fans During England's Nations League Victory Over Greece

Some supporters have criticized the Greek riot police for using excessive force while fans were waiting to enter the stadium through the turnstiles.

Around 3,000 England fans had tickets for the game, but many were not inside the stadium by kick-off, with some fans telling News they were pushed back by riot shields when they had nowhere to go.

The FA said: "We are aware that some of our fans had a difficult experience outside the ground and are obtaining more information on exactly what happened."

The FSA has also been approached for comment.

England romp to victory against Greece

England avenged their Greek oddity at Wembley by seizing control of automatic promotion hopes from Group B2 in the Nations League with a 3-0 victory in Athens capped by a superb Curtis Jones back-heeled finish.

Provided Lee Carsley ends his spell as interim boss with a victory of any kind against the Republic of Ireland on Sunday, new manager Thomas Tuchel will avoid beginning his reign next March with a play-off, but instead the fresh slate of a set of World Cup Qualifiers.

The Three Lions, who were beaten at home by Greece last month, got off to the perfect start as Ollie Watkins justified his selection with a close-range finish after excellent play involving Noni Madueke and Jude Bellingham down the right flank (7).

England, who were hampered by nine withdrawals since Carsley named his squad for his final camp, absorbed a period of pressure to find the goals they needed to take control of the group as Bellingham's marauding run and shot struck the post before ricocheting over the line via the back of the hapless goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos.

It moved England above Greece by virtue of a superior head-to-head - but Jones' audacious flick from substitute Morgan Gibbs-White's cross put the seal on a hugely impressive victory in hostile surroundings. Provided England match - or better - Greece's result in the final round of fixtures, they will be promoted to League A.
