Police have come under fire after chaotic scenes erupted as Bolton Wanderers fans made their way from Wigan Athletic's DW Stadium at the weekend. Videos have emerged on social media showing tension after the football match on Saturday (April 2), which ended in a 1-1 draw.
The behaviour of some supporters had been criticised by a high-profile figure at Greater Manchester Police as reports of disorder following the game first surfaced. But a number of fans have called GMP out over 'police brutality', after footage surfaced which appears to show officers pushing men to the ground as they made their way from Wigan's stadium.
Two videos, shared on social media, focus on tension between police and supporters at a bridge over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal behind the stadium. Wanderers fans were kept inside the DW Stadium while Latics supporters left, before those leaving on foot were escorted by police to Wallgate, via the bridge near Miry Lane.

One of the videos shows officers trying to stop Bolton fans from crossing the bridge after the game, before supporters manage to force their way over to the other side. A man in a grey jumper steps back towards the bridge, but falls to the ground when an officer appears to push him back away from it.
Another supporter in a grey jumper can be seen stood close to the canal exchanging words with an officer, who then appears to move his hand up to the fan's neck and push him to the ground. Bolton fans can be heard shocked in both videos, with a man saying in one of the clips: "They've f***** this up so badly."
A woman can also be heard in the other video on Twitter, shouting:
