Police have praised the "overwhelming majority" of football supporters for their behaviour at a Devon derby football match over the weekend.

The match between Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City ended in a 2-2 draw at Plymouth's Home Park on Saturday, in what was the first meeting between the two sides at the stadium since 2022.

Match commander Supt Vicky Howell, of Devon and Cornwall Police, said that, despite the "well known rivalry" and the significance of the fixture, supporters came to the match in the "right spirit".

Police said three people were arrested at the game, one for entering the pitch, one for throwing a missile into the stands and another for common assault on a steward.
