Football fans were waiting up to two hours to get their bags back from Wembley Stadium.

The bags that supporters were allowed to bring were larger than an A4 piece of paper.

Many who were unaware of the policy were forced to wait to check their bags out after the game with long lines forming as a result.

One fan called the system a mess after they missed their train.

The bags were distributed by Met Police officers before midnight.

The officers were yelling at people in the queue to get on the train.

The move was too late for some. He was forced to pay to stay in the premier inn after he missed his train.

Currie said she had waited for an hour and 45 minutes.

There is at least another two hours to go. She said that it was an absolute joke to come on Wembley Stadium.

The venue shared videos on its social media accounts warning fans about the policy of not allowing large items into the ground.

There were more than 73,000 people in attendance at the game. The visitors were reduced to 10 men by a red card.

The FA and Met Police have been contacted.
