Cologne to pay Arsenal for Europa damage
Cologne have been ordered to pay a settlement to Arsenal over damage caused by their supporters during the Europa League tie at the Emirates Stadium on Sept. 14, UEFA has announced.
UEFA has also imposed a one-match away supporter travel ban, suspended for two years, on Cologne in the event of further disturbances and fined them €60,000 (£53,000) over the conduct of their fans at the Emirates.
UEFA opened disciplinary proceedings following the crowd trouble which overshadowed Arsenal's 3-1 victory.
The Group H tie was delayed by an hour as ticketless Cologne fans looked to gain entry to the ground.
The German club were issued with 3,000 tickets, but around 20,000 of their fans were believed to have made the journey to London.
