Drivers are facing long delays on the M4 tonight as thousands of football fans leave Wales after watching Arsenal beat Manchester City in the Community Shield at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
Traffic service Inrix reports stop-start traffic causing delays of up to 45 minutes at the Brynglas tunnels. Traffic Wales is warning drivers to expect hold-ups of nearly an hour.

The congestion is attributed to a combination of holidaymakers and football fans leaving the city after the match.
