UEFA opens proceedings against Lyon and Besiktas after Europa League disturbances

Lyon have been charged with "insufficient organisation" of their supporters after crowd disturbances seriously delayed the start of Thursday's 2-1 Europa League victory over Besiktas.

Tension between rival supporters in the east-central French city spilled into the Parc OL before the scheduled 2005 BST kick-off time, with a barrage of projectiles from the upper tiers forcing fans on to the pitch and casting the viability of the fixture into doubt.
