Police are investigating after trouble broke out following Manchester City's clash with Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. John Stones struck a last-gasp equaliser to earn the Blues a 2-2 draw following a bad-tempered affair on the pitch during the clash between the Premier League title rivals on Sunday evening.

Following the game, a picture posted on social media showed a man lying on the floor with his eyes closed, and blood coming from his head, surrounded by police officers outside the ground on Ashton New Road in Beswick.
