POLICE have commended Redditch football fans for their behaviour on Friday after England were knocked out of the World Cup.

Hundreds of people watched their country bow out of the competition after losing 2-1 to Brazil in the early morning game.

The news comes after a plea from police in last week's Redditch Advertiser urging fans to remain well behaved after Friday's game.

It followed several reports of fighting in the town after England's previous 3-0 win against Denmark.
