Tottenham punish 48 supporters who sold Champions League tickets to banned Red Star fans

Tottenham have issued indefinite bans to 48 club members found to have sold on tickets for the Champions League match against Red Star Belgrade earlier this month.

A large number of Red Star fans got hold of tickets for Spurs' 5-0 win at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, despite a Uefa ban on away support for the Serbian club as a punishment for racism.

Around 200 Red Star fans congregated in the upper tier of the North Stand, prompting police and stewards to segregate them from home fans because there were too many to eject.

Spurs launched a full investigation into the situation and have now banned the 48 members who were found to have bought multiple tickets and illegally sold them on to Serbian supporters and touts.

Uefa's disciplinary committee is still deciding whether to take possible action against Tottenham, having received the report from the match delegate.

Spurs travel to Belgrade next week for their fourth group stage game.
