The game was held at the world's smallest stadium

The arrests, mainly for alleged drunk and disorderly offences, came after five England football fans were seriously injured in violent clashes ahead of the game.

Three men suffered gunshot wounds and two others were stabbed on Saturday in fighting in Zurich, where many of the fans had been staying before the match.

An English police spokesman said the attacks had apparently been caused by foreign hooligan groups.

Rubber bullets

Three men, aged 32, 37 and 38, were undergoing surgery on Sunday along with two other British people aged 38 and 42, who were stabbed. None of the men have been named.

After Saturday's game, police said trouble had broken out among supporters.

A spokesman for the Liechtenstein police said about 1,700 England supporters had arrived in Vaduz for the European Championship 2004 qualifier - 800 of them without tickets.

A spokesman for Zurich Police said several shots were heard at about 0100 GMT on Saturday close to the Calypso Bar and a nearby food stall.

Twenty-five England supporters were arrested following fighting as police officers used tear gas and rubber bullets to control the rioting. They were later released.

'Tear gas'

Police said football supporters threw bottles at police as scores of officers attempted to control the crowd.

"The hooligans were breaking things and fighting. A lot of windows were smashed," said a spokesman for Zurich police.

"They were fighting and throwing bottles at police. Tear gas was used.

"The English were drinking a lot of alcohol."

Co-chairman of the Football Supporters' Federation, Malcolm Clarke, said the FSF was working with the British government to stamp out hooliganism.

He said: "There's been a small percentage of idiotic England supporters who want to cause trouble.

"We obviously deplore that. But there are also the local yobs who decide they want to retaliate."
