England fans make it through World Cup with no arrests for first time in history

Not a single England fan has been arrested at the World Cup, police confirmed today.

Cheshire Chief Constable Mark Roberts, head of the UK Football Policing Unit, praised the behaviour of Three Lions fans in Qatar. He believes it is the first time ever that no British nationals have been arrested at the tournament. No Wales fans were detained either.

Mr Roberts gave his report following England's knock out in the dramatic 2-1 quarter final defeat to France on Saturday. There were 3,000 fans from each home nation for our three group games in Qatar and 3,500 travelling out to the knockout stages for England games, including the 3-0 victory over Senegal in the last 16.
