THE FA and Football Supporters’ Association are investigating after England fans faced heavy-handed policing and tear gas before the Nations League match in Greece.

Lee Carsley’s side was backed by 3,500 travelling supporters in Thursday’s key Group B2 encounter at the sold-out Olympic Stadium in Athens.

England secured victory against Greece on an evening that started with some fans dealing with overzealous policing on their way into the ground.
