A 27-year-old man has become the first person charged with 'tailgating' after the EFL Cup final at Wembley. The charge comes under new legislation designed to prevent unauthorized entry to stadiums by having fans follow legitimate ticket-holders through turnstiles.

The incident occurred following Sunday's match, though specific details about the accused have not been released. The legislation was introduced after the chaos at the 2021 European Championship final, when thousands of fans without tickets forced their way into Wembley Stadium.
