Bolton demand police probe after UEFA clash

Bolton have lodged an official complaint with UEFA at what they have branded the “overzealous and disproportionate” treatment of their fans by Spanish police at last night’s UEFA Cup match at Atletico Madrid.

In a statement issued by the Barclays Premier League club this morning, it is claimed supporters were subjected to “a number of assaults and unprovoked baton charges before, during, and after the game” at Vicente Calderon, which ended in a goalless draw that sent the Trotters through to the last 16.
