Three police officers have been reprimanded after taking part in a pitch invasion at the end of the crucial Championship clash between Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth while off-duty.
The Dorset Police colleagues were caught spilling onto the pitch along with a large crowd of Bournemouth fans after their side sealed a return to the Premier League on May 3, courtesy of a 1-0 victory over closest rivals Forest. The result saw the Cherries clinch the second automatic promotion spot, while Steve Cooper's men had to settle for a place in the play-offs.
Fans could be seen letting off flares and surrounding the players and staff in celebration on the Vitality Stadium turf. One of the officers involved is said to be a superintendent, The Sun newspaper reported.
