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.
