Referee hurt in Europa League fan chaos

The goalless tie was heading into extra time in Craiova when a brawl broke out between both sets of players, during which a smoke bomb landed and detonated near Northern Irish match official Arnold Hunter.

Images from Romanian broadcaster Digisport appear to show Hunter being hit by something thrown from the crowd, after which the match was suspended for over half an hour as the 39-year-old was treated and then left the field amid confusion over the outcome of the match.

Eventually the fourth official restarted play with just one minute of extra-time to play, and with the match finishing with no scorers, Craiova came out on top 3-1 in the penalty shootout.

However reports from Romania suggest that the match was only finished because local police couldn't guarantee the safety of officials and Honved players in the event of the match being called off.
