Last night there were celebrations in the city after Samp beat Varese in the play-off final to secure their return to Serie A.

However, during the street parties a group of fans was attacked by Genoa ultras armed with knives. Police have described it as an ambush.

It’s now reported three are in hospital in serious condition, two suffering from stab wounds to the lungs and liver, a third stabbed in the stomach and leg.

Another two supporters were also hospitalised, but they have only minor injuries.
