The Cockerel pub suffered "extensive damage"

Police arrested the fans before the Hammers' Carling Cup clash against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, north London, on Wednesday.

They were called at 1508 GMT to a Tottenham supporters' pub, The Cockerel, on Tottenham High Road, after reports of a large group causing trouble.

The pub suffered "extensive damage" and a number of West Ham fans were later arrested at nearby Northumberland Park for criminal damage and violent disorder.

CCTV footage examined

Police said "skirmishes" continued throughout the afternoon and evening on the High Road and at least two other pubs were damaged.

There were some injuries and one man, who is not thought to be seriously hurt, was taken to hospital.

Scotland Yard said there was no trouble inside White Hart Lane, although eight people were ejected for drinking and vandalism offences and two arrested during the game which started at 1945 GMT.

Police are now examining CCTV footage to "find any other perpetrators".

Premiership side Tottenham beat their Division One rivals 1-0 after extra time to go through to the fourth round of the Carling Cup.
