Police wade into the Crystal Palace end to confiscate a drum from away fans at the Emirates Stadium, ahead of their Premier League clash against Arsenal

Police officers were pictured wading into the Crystal Palace end at the Emirates Stadium and were pictured confiscating a drum from the away supporters, ahead of the Eagles' Premier League clash against Arsenal.

Swathes of officers wearing high-vis jackets were spotted entering the away end, before officers were pictured taking a drum away from the travelling supporters ahead of kick-off.

Some questioned the move online, with one X (formerly Twitter) user writing: '25 odd Police to confiscate a drum.'

Arsenal took the lead inside 11 minutes of the game, with Gabriel heading in a corner from Declan Rice to give the hosts an early lead.
