Multiple football fans injured after stadium stand collapses at Amiens vs Lille match in northern France

Multiple Lille football fans have been injured after part of a stadium collapsed as the team celebrated a goal against Amiens in northern France.

There were around 20 fans injured, including up to six seriously, when a barrier gave way at the 12,000-capacity Amiens Unicorn stadium.

Horrifying photos and video footage show dozens of fans tumbling down the stand after it gave way.

The fans were celebrating a goal by Lille's Fode Ballo-Toure when the barrier collapsed, sending them plunging two metres to pitch level.

Firefighters, paramedics, Red Cross emergency workers and the team doctors sprinted onto the pitch from the dugout to offer first aid.
