A match between rival Belfast football teams Crusaders and Cliftonville has been cancelled, after violence erupted at a loyalist flag protest outside the ground.

The match was called off after many of the supporters were unable to gain access to the Seaview stadium on the Shore Road.

Three people were arrested during the protest.
