A flare is set off in the away fans section at the Amex
TROUBLE once again marred this weekend's Brighton and Hove Albion fixture.
Sussex Police arrested two people and five others were ejected from the American Express Community Stadium during Saturday's game against Liverpool.
A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of being in the possession of a flare under Section 2 of the Sporting Events Act 1985. He has since been released under investigation.
A 37-year-old man from Bexhill, was arrested on suspicion of throwing a missile onto the pitch under Section 2 of the Football Offences Act 1991. He remains in custody for questioning.
It follows widespread disruption at last week's game against Crystal Palace.
