Will hooliganism ever stop amongst football fans?
This is the consequence of rascality and if football fans don't come to embrace this sport for what it truly is,then results like this will continue to rise.

A supporter died after violent clashes between fans before Atletico Madrid's home match against Deportivo La Coruna.
The unnamed Deportivo fan, 43, was taken out of a river near Atletico's Vincente Calderon Stadium suffering from cardiac arrest, hypothermia and head injuries and died in hospital.
Eleven other people were treated for mostly minor injuries, including a female police officer.
Twenty people were taken into custody with 100 troublemakers identified.
The violence near the stadium was condemned by both clubs and the Spanish league.
Atletico president Enrique Cerezo, speaking before the death of the supporter was announced, told Spanish television: "I want to say that this has nothing to do with football.
The above image shows Deportivo supporters been escorted away from the Vincente Calderon Stadium following the clashes.
"These are radical groups who meet up and these are the consequences."
Deportivo president Tino Fernandez said clubs needed to do more to make sure such incidents were not allowed to happen.
He added: "It's tragic news. I want to express our vehement opposition to violence."
Atletico Madrid won the match 2-0 to record their fifth win in six games and move within four points of La Liga leaders Real Madrid.
Saul Niguez headed the defending champions in front in the 43rd-minute before Arda Turan sealed victory 10 minutes into the second half.
The win took Atletico into second place in the table before Barcelona's evening kick-off away to Valencia.
