LONDON (AP) - Arsenal's Europa League match against Cologne has been delayed by an hour over concerns about fan safety.
Thousands of ticketless Cologne supporters turned up at Emirates Stadium on Thursday and those fans with tickets were unable to gain access to the ground.
The 60-minute delay was announced inside the stadium with Arsenal "monitoring" the situation.
