MULTIPLE arrests have been made after unrest broke out during Nottingham Forest's Europa League match against Fenerbahce.

Forest players had to dodge flares during the second leg of the playoffs on Thursday night after fans from Fenerbahce threw them onto the pitch at the start of the match.

The incident caused a three-minute delay as flares were launched into the Forest penalty area.

The pyrotechnics landed close to Forest players Jair Cunha and Neco Williams, who tried to kick one off the pitch.
