England's Under-21 side secured qualification for Euro 2013 with a 1-0 victory over Serbia in Krusevac, but the match was overshadowed by ugly scenes at the final whistle. Connor Wickham's 90th-minute winner sparked scuffles between players and staff, with missiles thrown onto the pitch.
Danny Rose was sent off after appearing to indicate he had been racially abused. Monkey chants were heard, and England assistant coach Steve Wigley was involved in a fight near the tunnel. The Football Association has reported the incident to Uefa.
The victory, which sealed a 2-0 aggregate win, took England through to an unprecedented fourth successive major tournament. However, the night will be remembered for the post-match chaos rather than the football.
Goalkeeper Jack Butland was targeted by objects during the second half but kept a clean sheet, extending England's record beyond seven hours. Marvin Sordell hit the post early on, while Serbia had the better of play but failed to score.
