Three people were hurt and four detained on Thursday after several hundred fans were involved in clashes at a Europa League match between Panathinaikos and Lazio.

The clashes occurred outside Athens' Olympic Stadium, both before and during the match.

Police separated rival fans before the game started. Three fans received first aid and their injuries were not considered serious.
