UEFA are to study video evidence before deciding whether to take disciplinary action against England or Turkey players following the match in Istanbul on Saturday.

There was a scuffle in the tunnel at half-time following incidents when Alpay taunted David Beckham for missing a penalty and later poked him in the face as the players walked off the pitch at the break.

UEFA also started disciplinary proceedings against the Turkish FA for incidents when flares were lit in the stadium and a couple of objects thrown on the pitch.
