NYON, Switzerland (AP) — Fans of Swiss soccer club Young Boys were banned from a Europa League game on Thursday as punishment for violence that halted play at Aston Villa last week.
Young Boys fans threw plastic bottles that struck Villa goal scorer Donyell Malen and clashed with stadium security staff during their team’s 2-1 loss on Nov. 27. Play was stopped for about five minutes in the first half.
