Eyewitnesses said that the gang smashed the doors to the Smoking Dog Pub in Lyon as well as throwing flares and cast iron chairs into the pub where up to 150 Spurs fans were drinking. This is not the first time which Totenham supporters have been attacked in the last three months after they were ambushed inside a pub in Rome on the eve of their game against Lazio.
The pubs landlord Dave Eales, said: "At 10.18 the pub was rammed with Tottenham fans watching the Champions League on the television. The front of the pub, which is made up of reinforced glass, was attacked by 20-25 people".
"They threw projectiles through the windows. There was a stand-off. They didn't get in to the bar. Then it calmed down. Then they came back a second time and it all started again".
"There were three injured Tottenham fans taken away by ambulance. One of them had a head injury. I'm not sure how bad it was".
Spurs fan and journalist Christian Radnege, who was in the bar at the time of the attack, said: "They came in making Nazi salutes. It was frightening. Rome was fresh in everyone's minds. Everyone realised this was serious."
