Four Ajax fans have pleaded guilty to affray after throwing slabs of pavement at police and Tottenham Hotspur supporters ahead of their Champions League semi-final.

The incident occurred at approximately 19:15 when a group of travelling fans began breaking up pieces of concrete to throw on Brereton Road.

Three police officers were assaulted while attempting to intervene but their injuries were not deemed as serious.
