Chief Constable Mark Roberts calls for Polish side to be thrown out of Europa Conference League after five officers were injured in violent scenes before Aston Villa's 2-1 win

The head of the UK's Football Policing Unit wants Legia Warsaw thrown out of the Europa Conference League for their 'violent' conduct at Aston Villa on Thursday night.

West Midlands Police said 46 people were arrested outside Villa Park for violence involving visiting fans, with four officers injured and one hospitalised after a period of sustained violence.

Aston Villa have lodged an official complaint to UEFA over the actions of Legia Warsaw fans, while Chief Constable Mark Roberts, the head of the Football Policing Unit in this country, has urged the confederation to end the Polish club's status in European club football.
