Travel chaos as hundreds of football supporters flood Manchester street after shock win for Morocco

There was chaos on the roads in south Manchester on Tuesday night (December 6) after Morocco's shock win against Spain in the World Cup. Hundreds of fans flooded Wilmslow Road in Rusholme in celebration following the result.

Traffic was gridlocked and buses had to divert for the remainder of the evening as the huge crowds marched along the main road, which leads to Oxford Road and is one of the busiest bus routes through to Manchester city centre.

Videos shared on social media show hundreds of people chanting as they walked along Wilmslow Road, with the red Moroccan flag being waved in the sky by many after the country knocked Spain out of the World Cup in penalties.
