Seven people have been charged with offences relating to Sunday's north London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium.

Eight arrests were made in total, however one man has since been released with no further action pending. 

The offences range from drug possession to assaulting a police officer. 

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil was reportedly hit with a missile from the crowd during the 1-1 draw and toilets at the Emirates Stadium were damaged, with pictures posted on social media.

In September, the Capital One Cup fixture between the sides was disrupted by Arsenal supporters pulling advertising hoardings off the stands at White Hart Lane.

Arsenal confirmed they are "working closely with Tottenham and the police to try to identify the culprits".
